Deep in the throes of a New England winter, Maggie's still adjusting to her new role as a confidential informant for the Hudson Police Department. When a suspicious fax is sent to one of her new clients, Maggie is sure she's unearthed a conspiracy. With no crime to investigate, however, the Hudson P.D. can do nothing-that is until a wealthy trophy wife disappears and the FBI is called into the hunt.

All of the family drama is put into perspective, however, when Maggie is arrested for kidnapping and blackmail. Between economic woes and a now tarnished reputation, Maggie is in way over her head. Yet out of the ashes of frustration and failure, something great might emerge. If she survives the birthing process that is....
