He came to the mountains to escape his past. She came to survive her future.
After enduring months of captivity in Azbakastan, former soldier Jon Murphy can't bring himself to face his family?not with the things he did to survive. Hiding out in a remote mountain cabin, he's content to live in silence... until trouble finds him in the form of a desperate woman and her missing child.
Widow Sara Sheldon has spent years outrunning the mistakes of her past. Now her powerful in-laws are threatening to take her daughter away. When the little girl vanishes in the Colorado Rockies, Sara turns to the only person who can help?a rugged, reclusive tracker who looks like he's battled his own demons.
Trapped by a snowstorm and hunted by danger, Sara and her daughter find unexpected refuge in Murphy's arms. But the closer she gets, the more determined he is to push her away. His scars run deeper than skin, and the secrets he carries could destroy them both.
He vowed never to get involved again. But some promises are impossible to keep...

Klappentext
He lost his family. She gave them back to him.
Home is the last place Jon Murphy can go. After being held captive in Azbakastan, he returns to the States only to find he can't face his mom and sisters with what he did while he was a prisoner, so he retreats to the mountains.
Widow Sara Sheldon has made a lifetime of mistakes and is now running scared from her husband's powerful family, who are determined to take her daughter away from her. When her little girl goes missing in the Rockies, Sara enlists the only help she can find: a gruff recluse with tracking skills to admire and a body to covet.
A storm strands Sara and her daughter at Murphy's cabin, leaving her no choice but to hope her in-laws don't catch up while she plans where to run next. Murphy resents the invasion of his privacy, but can't seem to keep his mind-or his hands-off Sara. How can she stand to look at him, with all his scars? He's not nearly as honorable as she might think...only enough to make sure she's safe, and then he'll go back to being alone, the way he should be.
