JD Selkirk wants to be left alone to brood over the haunting memories of the day an IED blew him up and ended his army career. Forget the vast Selkirk ranch. When his sister’s best friend Paula Barton visits him at the VA hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming, JD takes out his bad attitude on her by forcing a kiss on her to make her flee. JD doesn’t suspect that Paula harbors a secret love for him. He’s too busy being embittered and refusing to get on with his life.

Then JD’s older brother threatens to sell the family ranch. Paula is driven by her love for JD to commit a rash act involving a drug and an airplane that puts him in the middle of the crisis. There is no turning back as a heavy snowstorm strands them all together on the ranch. JD angrily decides to get revenge and use his well-honed seduction skills on Paula. She knows she shouldn’t trust his sudden about-face or give in to his campaign to charm her, but how can she resist the man she loves?

Someone could end up with a broken heart. Will it be Paula, or JD?
