And when his developing relationship with Julia threatens his chance at reconciliation with his brothers, will he be forced to choose between the family bonds that could restore his trust and the love that could heal his heart? He sure doesn't expect to find a young woman trapped in one of the tunnels-or to be forced to kiss her! Ready to put the past behind him, he plans to visit the cave one final time. He's haunted by one terrible day at the cave on a far-flung corner of the Kincaid property, a day that changed his life forever. Rafe Kincaid has spent years keeping his family's cattle ranch going, all without help from his two younger brothers, who fled the ranch-and Rafe's controlling ways-as soon as they were able.

The cave seems plenty safe-until the day a mysterious intruder steals the rope she uses to find her way out. She particularly enjoys her outings to the cavern near her father's homestead, where she explores for fossils and formations, and plans to write a book about her discoveries.

Julia Gilliland has always been interested in the natural world around her.
