He saves lives. She heals the injured.

They’ve gone their separate ways, each choosing noble paths until Providence brings them back together. But as she helps rehabilitate his wounded body, can she mend the heart she shattered?

Clayton Cooper is a bona fide daredevil. Always has been. Always will be. At first, he uses his talents for thrills and payouts on the rodeo circuit. Success seems to greet him at every turn. So when he marries his high school sweetheart, he assumes she’ll follow him anywhere. But after a year and a half, she calls off the marriage and turns Clay’s heart to rubble. He sees only one way to survive: lose himself in the rigors of Alaskan smokejumping.

Peggy Sassman married the man she’d fallen hard for, the man whose courage and charisma promise a larger-than-life future ahead. But when Clay descends from loving husband to beer-guzzling, workaholic rodeo star, Peggy hands him divorce papers in a desperate attempt to wake him up. Instead, Clay lets her walk away.

Years later, a ranch accident lands a severely hobbled Clay under Peggy’s physical therapy care. Their original attraction gnaws at them until Clay cuts and runs—straight into a near-fatal head trauma that changes their lives forever. Will Peggy’s unrelenting love heal Clay’s body, mind, and heart? Or will the pain of their past force them apart for good?

And for the rest of the Cooper Bar-6 Ranch family, one critical question remains: are Clay and Peggy’s mishaps an isolated problem, or are they linked to the saboteur’s goal of decimating the Cooper heritage?
