A bet brings Cain Stone–or Stone Cold, as they call him in Las Vegas–home for the holidays. But after a few days of skiing and reminiscing, he plans to leave Silver Creek and all its painful memories of life in an orphanage behind him for good.
Then he runs into Holly Winston.
The little girl who used to yell at him to stay off her mountain has grown into a gutsy woman with a temper to match. Unfortunately, she holds him responsible for her family's ruin.
Risk-taking Cain is lucky in business–but since seeing Holly, luck in love is what's on his mind. But is Holly a woman who can forgive and forget?
