Mace Carson never saw himself as heroic. Ten years ago in college, he stepped in when a woman was attacked because it felt right. Now he runs a thriving winery in Mustang Creek, Wyoming, far from those darker days. When corporate executive Kelly Wright arrives to negotiate purchasing his vineyard, Mace recognizes her immediately. She's the woman he saved a decade earlier. Kelly has carried the memory of that night and her rescuer with her ever since. Finding Mace behind the successful winery brings unexpected complications to what should be a straightforward business deal. She tries to keep things professional, but their shared history creates an undeniable connection. Then Kelly's attacker walks free from prison. He wants revenge on both of them. Suddenly the past crashes into the present, forcing Mace and Kelly to confront not only the danger stalking them but also the feelings they've tried to ignore.
