Tucked away in the warm solitude of her mountain cabin, Holly welcomes the lingering chill of spring as a peaceful addition to her own private paradise. Little does she know it is no more than a cloak, disguising hidden dangers that threaten to tarnish the pristine innocence only nature can provide.  With the arrival of a compelling yet unwelcome guest, Holly's world is about to become prey to an evil force that has been thriving in the very woods in which she lives.

Required to follow up on an unlikely lead, INS Special Agent Dodge enters Holly's paradise with little patience and no desire to be played by the deceptive witch. However, a devastating turn of events pushes the reluctant pair to band together in order to expose the existence of a deadly smuggling ring that has plagued the Northern Rockies for decades. Caught in a labyrinth of danger, Holly and Dodge ultimately surrender to their undeniable attraction for one another; however, the comfort they find in each other's arms is tarnished by deception...as well as the threat of dark secrets that may lie as close as the person lying next to them.

This story ends with a cliffhanger and continues with FLESH OF ANGELS - REBIRTH.
