A fire ranger, alone in the silent wilderness, far from the cold steel and concrete of civilization, he lacked nothing and regretted nothing ... until Sandy came along.

She was another man's woman -- quiet and innocent of her own bewitching sensuality. Unbidden and unexpected, she would turn Will Gatlin's world around ... and become part of him forever.
