Eli Kinmont spent the last six years in the mountain wilderness of far West Texas, where he thought his past couldn't reach him. He'd always been able to defeat any peril that came his way--until he took a misstep while tracking a mountain lion. Jade Tucker, a beautiful healer, found him after his fall. What she didn't know was that Eli's most serious injuries were in his soul, and to heal him, she would have to risk her dreams, her family, and her heart.
