Ren Colter owns vast acres of Wyoming rangeland but cares nothing for his fortune. Years ago his fiancée abandoned him, and since then he has shut out the world. When blonde Meredith Grayling arrives needing shelter from a dangerous stalker, Ren surprises himself by letting her stay. He claims he only wants to keep her safe, but his protective instincts quickly become something deeper. Merrie wants nothing to do with a man like Ren. His experience intimidates her, and his appeal threatens her already frayed composure. She came to Wyoming to escape two men: the one who terrorizes her and the one who fills her dreams. But Ren Colter refuses to let any woman slip away from him again.
