Lingua:Libri ItalianiStati Uniti, 1876 - Per proteggere Kate, la nipotina di cinque mesi, figlia della sorella morta di parto, Jenna Winslow è disposta a tutto, anche a rispondere a un annuncio matrimoniale, a dichiarare di essere una vedova con figlia a carico e a trasferirsi in una sperduta fattoria nel lontano Colorado per sposare uno sconosciuto allevatore di bestiame. Ma lei, una ragazza delicata, ingenua e inesperta, potrà abituarsi alle dure regole della vita nella prateria? E soprattutto, potrà andare d'accordo con Rowe Mercer, un ex implacabile cacciatore di taglie? Quell'uomo dispotico e intransigente e tuttavia comprensivo e generoso, oltre che dotato di un intrigante e prepotente fascino al quale Jenna non sa resistere, non è poi tutto da buttare, e Jenna se ne è accorta fin dal primo istante.
Quando non era che un’adolescente in fuga, è stata rapita e drogata, per poi essere ritrovata priva di sensi per strada. Riley non ha ricordi di ciò che è accaduto, tuttavia fa spesso strani sogni con protagonisti due uomini che giocano a carte.
Clay Bowman, ex agente dell’FBI, non riesce a dimenticare il caso irrisolto di un serial killer, soprannominato lo Squalo, che ha ucciso diverse ragazze, come posta in gioco di una sadica partita a poker.
Riley e Clay, uniti nel passato da una relazione d’amore, cercheranno di contrastare lo Squalo, mentre si fa sempre più concreto il sospetto che Riley sia stata l’unica ragazza riuscita a sfuggire alle grinfie del serial killer, anni prima.
Riusciranno i due a fermare il pericoloso assassino, prima che giochi le sue carte?
Abby Smyth, stanca di essere trattata male dal ricchissimo zio, ha intrecciato una relazione per corrispondenza con un uomo che non ha mai visto, Matthias Barrington, allevatore di Crickhollow, e ha accettato la sua proposta di matrimonio nella speranza di costruirsi una nuova vita. Quando però arriva nel Montana, scopre che Matthias non ha mai sentito parlare di lei, e che a firmare le lettere sono stati in realtà i suoi amici. Peggio ancora, quando se la trova di fronte lui rifiuta categoricamente di portarla con sé. Abby però non ha intenzione di accettare un no come risposta, e facendo leva sul fatto che i due figlioletti di Matthias hanno bisogno di qualcuno che si occupi di loro, propone al brusco e scontroso allevatore di fargli da governante fino al termine dell'estate. Perché una cosa ha capito immediatamente: tutto ciò che vuole dalla vita è un posto nel cuore dei Barrington. Tutti e tre.
