An abused woman starts life over in Wyoming finding herself and love with a cowboy.
Paige Chandling has left an abusive marriage and impulsively set out for Wyoming to recreate her life. When caught in a "whiteout" (blizzard) and stranded on the side of a lonely road, she is overcome by carbon monoxide. Local rancher/cowboy Quaid Kincaid comes to her rescue.
Paige finds herself attracted to him although his cool aloofness leaves a lot to be desired. Both have baggage from their previous marriages to overcome and Paige must learn the ways of Wyoming people and ranch life.
When she realizes she's in love with him, her ex surprises her with a visit that puts her on pins and needles. Meanwhile, Quaid is losing the ranch, but Paige has a plan to change all that. But can she implement it in time? Will Quaid welcome or spurn her efforts? Will her ex put a kink in things? Only Paige and Quaid can overcome their differences in a rough land that requires strong, tough people.
Excerpt
Duh! "Who are you?" Her voice sounded wobbly and loud to her own ears and she wondered it if sounded that way to him. Still groggy, she fluttered her eyelids open and closed.
"Quaid Kincaid, ma'am. I'm the one that found you."
"Found me? Where?" Her speech sounded thick and sluggish. Her eyes scanned him from where he was now standing beside the bed looking down at her. Her eyes went from his chest to his face. Whoa momma! Have I died and gone to heaven? What a hottie! He could be Alan Jackson's twin.
"In a snow bank on the Sundace country road, ma'am."
Always a sucker for a good-looking an she stared at him, hearing his words but not really listening as her pulse raced, pounding in her ears. Is he a doctor? If this is what doctors are like in the West, he can treat me anytime.
