Cold Creek secret: Stranded in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard, heiress Mimi Van Hoyt, on the run from her latest scandal, begs Major Brant Western, a local rancher, for shelter from the storm and finds unexpected love with this man who is on leave from his latest tour of duty. Not just a cowboy. Heiress Patricia Cargill was out to prove she was more than just a big bank account. Running Texas Rescue and Relief gives her the greatest satisfaction she could imagine. Until she meets volunteer Luke Waterson. He's a little younger, a little brasher and a lot more dangerous than anyone she's dated. He could be everything she needs.
