If only ER doc Sarah Sullivan could get the ornery cowboy sheâs loved since she was a girl to cooperate, she could move on with her life, and maybe even think about starting a family. But heâs pulling away, and she doesnât know why. What she does know is that she canât imagine life without him.
Ex-con Cal Landon lives in fear of the day his ugly past catches up with him and takes away the best thing heâs ever knownâSarah Sullivan. Cal would die to protect her, but she deserves better than a world-weary ranch hand. Even though itâs way past time for him to leave her familyâs Montana spread, he canât bring himself to let go.
When Sarah proposes at Christmastime, Cal has no choice but to walk away. Then a hostage crisis hurls Sarah into a life-and-death situation, and the love that made Cal leave sends him racing back to her side, straight into danger. He will get her out aliveâor die trying.
