Can hope really erase the past and sketch a new beginning? After a tragic loss, Liz Ruthersford flees home to seek refuge on a remote ranch in Montana where no one knows about her pathetic past. But a surprise encounter with Rawson Law, the son of her new boss, makes her wonder if she might have to run again. The cocky cowboy seems to have it out for her, and undermines her at every turn. Rawson Law appears as though he has it all, yet he'd give it all up for the chance to change one foolish decision five years ago that left one brother dead, another broken, and his best friend incarcerated. When he returns home to discover a strange girl has stolen not only his coveted job with the yearlings, but his status as favorite with his family as well, he resolves to shove her out of the picture. She might have hoodwinked his family, but he won't be fooled by her sweet and innocent act. Though Rawson and Liz fight their mutual attraction, embers of hope flicker to life as they are drawn together by work, fate, and the meddling schemes of Rawson's younger brother, Bentley. As the trio struggles to train wild horses, overcome physical limitations, and prove themselves capable of handling whatever life throws their way, they must also battle inner demons, addictions, guilt, and inner rage for those who have wounded them in the past. Hearts tangle and twine, but will they grasp onto second chances? Or will buried secrets keep them from embracing the present and cause Liz to hit the highway again?
