When Jay inherits the Vermilion Ranch near Wyoming's breathtaking Grand Teton Mountains, he vows to restore the family homestead. But first he must settle a vicious battle with his scheming former stepmother and greedy half-brother over a collection of paintings which belonged to his late father.

When Jay and Sara meet in person after months of phone calls, they discover a mutually inconvenient attraction that is soon complicated by a double murder at the edge of the ranch. Working together to unmask a murderer, Sara and Jay are powerless to resist the intense heat between them.

And when the killer targets Sara, Jay, the war-weary soldier, finds something he's once again willing to die for.
