No more charity cases for Raine Montrose. No more selfless acts of devotion. She'd paid her dues, or at least her missionary parents had.

After her mother's untimely death in Haiti, Raine and her father settle on a small ranch in Alberta, Canada. Now at last she can live her own life and dream her own dreams. When she meets the mysterious, darkly handsome Alan Decker, her missionary instincts return.

Badly scarred from a fire that claimed his young wife, Dek is also at a crossroads in his life. Together Raine and Dek form a friendship based on mutual need...until the need becomes commitment.
