A widowed mother of two, Sage Hammond is struggling to keep her horse ranch afloat. Unable to find a ranch hand willing to work for meager wages, she's close to giving up. Then, an answer to her prayers appears--a quiet, handsome stranger.

Adam is falling in love for the first time in his life, however, strange things begin to happen at the ranch--things that are putting Sage and her children in danger--and he finds he's willing to sell his soul to protect them. But will it be enough?

A man trying to overcome his past. A woman trying to secure her children's future. Can they both learn to live in the present and discover that second chances do exist?
