Will the danger that stalks them destroy their life together before it begins? When Rachel dared Beth to answer a personal ad in The Ranchers Journal, she never thought her citified friend would become a bona fide rancher's wife. Now Rachel, too, is falling in love with the glorious valley and Dirk Tanner, a rugged rancher who makes it his home. Rachel isn't the only San Fransiscan drawn to Elk Horn Valley. Jake, son of a San Fransisco client, has taken a shine to it too, and to Emily. Will threats from the present destroy any possible future for the couples?
