Callie Cargill is a no-nonsense nurse and (sort of) single mother with little time or patience for shenanigans. In short, she doesn't suffer fools and wins almost every argument she enters. That makes her a interesting match/foil for Jim Longworth, a new arrival and detective in the small resort town of Palm Glade, Florida, whose cocksure attitude is backed up by intelligence and wit.Callie is reluctantly drawn into Jim's world when he asks her to unofficially consult on a murder case. Of course, his interest is more than professional and Callie is by turns annoyed and intrigued by this police officer's dogged pursuit of her. Complicating matters considerably is the fact that Callie has a 13-year-old son, Jeff, whom she has raised alone since her husband Ray landed himself in prison. Beyond juggling a rather messy home situation, she is studying to get her medical degree.Callie is highly capable, quick-witted and fiercely defensive of her son and the life she has built.
