Sarah Canton is taking care of her ailing father and trying desperately to keep their ranch going, all while she has to fend off the unwanted advances of a lecherous bully. When her father reveals an astounding secret that he's kept from her for years, Sarah doesn't know if she can ever forgive him... and yet she feels she needs to find out more; find out if it's true... Jace Harding is the new sheriff in a town that's run by a very powerful and corrupt family... or so it seems. Estranged from his family, he's always been a loner. When he meets Sarah, things change as he gets tangled up in her life and helps her to determine if the secrets her father held for so many years are true. Jace and Sarah soon find themselves drawn to each other. Together, they try to sort through the mystery surrounding an old map. It may lead them to gold or it just might lead them to the biggest secret of all, one that could bring a family back together. It's almost too late when they realize that there are others looking for treasure and they don't care what they have to do to get it.... even if they have to tear Jace and Sarah apart.
