Vanessa Beaumont is on a mission…a mission to protect her beloved horse Ransom from her ex-husband’s clutches. When her vehicle collides with deer during a violent summer storm, she finds herself stranded and lost in the back roads of Ohio. Forced to rely on the kindness of a stranger, Vanessa is both wary and grateful. What she didn’t count on was her attraction to said stranger or the ease with which she fits into his life.

Sheriff Riley Whitaker thinks nothing of the consequences when he opens his home to Vanessa and her horse. However, it’s not long before he realizes his attraction for the lush little blonde. A dinner here, a movie there and several nights of making love leave Riley facing an entirely new problem. Before long he can’t picture his life without Vanessa in it, but how can he convince her to stay.

When Vanessa’s vindictive ex-husband discovers her whereabouts, placing her life in danger, Riley knows he’ll puts his own life on the line to protect the woman he loves.
