When Alexandra Rafferty was thirteen, she was raped by the boy next door. But it didn't stop there. He continued to threaten her; she pulled out her daddy's handgun and, never meaning to, shot him dead. When her father, a cop, found her, he promised no one would ever find out. The secret is a lot to live with, and it has influenced Alexandra's life. Now on the Miami PD, she lives with her father, who has Alzheimer's, and struggles with an empty marriage to her husband.
