After a traumatic experience, Serena comes to Alberta for a new beginning. She finds a quiet, uncomplicated life-completely opposite from her explosive, tragic past-alone with her animals and an occasional visit from the old bush pilot who delivers the mail. She's not looking for relationships. Especially not with helicopter pilots. When Connor is shot out of the sky near Serena's remote wilderness home, she can't ignore two hundred pounds of hot, dark and handsome-a hunk who needs her help if he's going to live. Connor appreciates more about Serena than the simple fact she saved his life, but she can't believe she isn't cursed in matters of the heart-especially when the deadly forces of the life she left behind catch up with them both.
