"Non-stop action and scintillating passion!"

High Sierras

Despite the objections of her father and four over- protective brothers, Illustrator Marnie Wright heads for the High Sierras for some peace following the death of her much loved grandmother. Accompanied by her Great Dane, Duchess, Marnie travels to her grandmother's old cabin, planning to use the quiet time to reassess her life. While working on a sketch for her Halloween story, she meets Jake Dolan, a ruggedly handsome man with a shotgun, who looks anything but friendly and not at all pleased to have her trespassing on his property. In fact, he can't get rid of her fast enough!

Jake Dolan is definitely displeased with the distraction of his sexy neighbor. His life is ensnared in a web of intrigue and he's got no time for a woman. Judging from his past experiences, Jake feels women can't be trusted and he doesn't need one anyway. However, when Marnie's cabin is destroyed, Jake gives her shelter in his cabin and can't help the attraction that is growing steadily between him and this sexy blonde. Does he need any more complications in his life? Of course not. Jake has his hands full trying to unravel the latest Mideast fiasco that landed his reputation and his job in jeopardy. A woman would only complicate matters further. When a group of hit men attack the couple, Jake wonders if he should trust Marine, but the decision is taken out of his hands when she saves his life. Despite his misgivings, the passion sizzles between the two and they are drawn closer together.
