When Garrett Sterling leaves for a horseback ride through his family's sprawling Montana property, he's expecting a relaxing break from the construction at the Sterling guest ranch. What he gets is something far more sinister. It all happens so fast that it's hard for Garrett--and the authorities--to sort out the facts. Two things are certain, though: someone is dead and the killer knows there was a witness.

But when the one woman he could never forget emerges as a key suspect in the investigation, Garrett will do anything he can to help clear her name. She's still keeping secrets from him--that much is clear. But Garrett won't rest until he uncovers what really happened that day, how she's involved--and why everything she's ever told him is a lie.
