The offer of her dream job has Kaysi Grayeagle practically packing the moving truck herself. But before she can unpack, a fire breaks out in her new loft, leaving her shaken and homeless. That is, until her friend offers up her brother's place. The last thing Ben Corbett needs right now, is to babysit his sister's friend, and especially not one who has a mountain of problems, or one he's already embarrassed himself in front of. He appreciates the solitude working on his family's ranch affords him, and he enjoys helping his elderly neighbor with his wild horse rescue, even more. So, when things go missing and horses get loose, calling the old man's memory into question, Ben becomes suspicious. And when his beautiful houseguest receives some disturbing messages, Ben finds himself fighting everyone else's battles. But will the battle for his heart be the war he can't survive?
