Fresh out of a Pennsylvania penitentiary armed with a marketing
degree, Kate Neilson heads to Wyoming anticipating an anonymous new beginning
as a guest-ranch employee. A typical twenty-five-year-old woman might be
looking to lasso a cowboy, but her only desire is to get on with life on the
outside—despite her growing interest in the ranch owner. When she discovers a
violent ex-lover followed her west, she fears the past she hoped to hide will
imprison her once again.
