Someone has reported mustang killings on the Triple K Ranch - Rafe Kincaid's ranch. Jessica Scott of the BLM, Bureau of Land Management, is informed by her boss that someone must go to Colorado to check out the killings reported on the Kincaid ranch. It seems that the rooky sent there accused Rafe of killing the mustangs - so Rafe kicked him off the ranch. You will have a hard time figuring out who the culprit is. Jessie was born and raised in Washington D.C. and had no concept of ranch management. She arrived on a wet day that cattle were being moved to the high pastures and in order not to hit Rafe on horseback she drove off the access road and into a tree. Here is another divorcee with no sense of herself - so she has a hard time feeling any trust at first of Rafe. Rafe is still grieving at the lose of his wife, Mary Ann and their child and feeling guilty that he wasn't there for her. Jessie turns out to be another woman who ignores the reality of the dangers of ranch life and makes Rafe cart her across 60 some miles to the site of the killings. Of course this leads to their slowly unfolding romance [or at least the attraction]. She deserves her sore behind and scraped up knees. Never been on a horse before. [I don't see her as overcoming the impossible odds as just a foolish female.] All in all it is a very good story. Rafe just dosen't know how to handle falling in love and is fearful of the pain of losing another loved one. [chuckle] Jessie finally gets Rafe in the sack [with his co-operation] - she can't get pregnant. Yeah, right! Ends exceedingly well. Oh yes, we learn that his sister, Cat is in a mine accident [one reason why he didn't call Jessie] which is a good lead in to the third book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- turning out to be an excellent trio.
