Sarah Kincade is in trouble and has tried to escape it by fleeing to Lame Horse, Montana with her infant son. But her past is quick to follow, bringing danger to her doorstep with Zach Garrett. A man who will take any job, no matter how unsavory or risky, Garrett has been hired to deliver her baby to the powerful family that has claimed him as theirs. But Sarah's fury and grief begin to fade as they cross the vast Montana prairie and her unflinching, powerful captor reveals a past and a soul as crushed as her own.
Zach has lived a hard life with a solitary goal--to reclaim his ranch, and his payment for returning the baby will accomplish that. Yet, as he becomes acquainted with Sarah's grit, courage, and heart, he can't resist being drawn to her. She represents the kind of love he's never known, and stokes a desire in him that makes him question his priorities. Under the endless Montana sky, he realizes that he needs to do whatever it will take to make Sarah and her baby his own.
