Why these tropes fit

When journalist Morgan Kerr's best friend is murdered and her own father threatens to institutionalize her, she turns to her ex-fiancé, rugged mercenary Adam Quinn, who abandoned her two years earlier believing she had betrayed him. Despite lingering distrust, Quinn agrees to help investigate, knowing she isn't crazy, and the two are reluctantly thrown back together as their old feelings reignite. Their investigation becomes fiercely passionate and Quinn tries to convince himself it's only lust, until a killer takes Morgan hostage. That is when Quinn realizes he wants a second chance with the woman he has always loved.
