Ever since his discharge from the military, injured veteran Ashton Covert has been running his family ranch-and running himself into the ground to prove he still can. Ben Malton knows about running too. When he takes refuge in Ashton's barn after an accident in a Wyoming blizzard, he's thinking only of survival and escaping his abusive criminal ex, Dallas. Ashton has never met a responsibility he wouldn't try to shoulder. When he finds Ben half-frozen, he takes it upon himself to help. But deadly trouble follows Ben wherever he goes. He needs to continue on, except it may already be too late. Working together brings Ben and Ashton close, kindling fires not even the Wyoming winter can douse. Something about Ben makes Ashton feel whole again. But before they can ride into the sunset together, they need to put an end to Dallas's threats. Ben can make a stand, with Ashton's help-only it turns out the real danger could be much closer to home.
