Ex-Army Ranger and close friend of Nash Cartwright, Ramsey Coulter, needs to get away from the business for a bit and seek the solace of the mountains rising just outside of Cody, Wyoming. 

Dealing with his own demons and the recent death of his mother, Ramsey just needs some alone time. Except when he gets up into the mountains, he comes across a woman with a rifle and a definite chip on her shoulder.

Catherine Long, a county sheriff’s deputy, is dealing with her own grief and guilt over the death of her partner on an ill-fated domestic call. She and Ramsey butt heads, even while she feels a strong pull of attraction toward him.

Then a landslide upsets their worlds and propels them into a fight for life.
