Danger runs high and passions burn hot in Montana's wild country Big-city detective Bentley Jamison is a long way from home in the Beartooth wilderness when a local rancher's sheepherder goes missing. Towering mountains and a small, tight community are as unfamiliar to him as herding sheep. But he's never shied away from a challenge, and as the new deputy sheriff he's sworn to protect every inch of this rough terrain. Starting with unraveling a mystery that has left rancher Maddie Conner a wide-open target. Maddie's as beautiful—and untamable—as the land around them. Like Jamison, she won't back down from danger. But desire that flares hotter than their tempers only raises the stakes when a fierce storm traps them in the high mountains. Caught in a killer's sights, Jamison and Maddie must trust one another, because now survival…and love…are all that matter.
