She's on a mission of mercy. He's on the trail of revenge.

Time is running out, and Abigail Bracken is determined to reunite her long-missing uncle and her feeble grandmother. A feared bounty hunter is her last hope, but he might also be her best chance at succeeding. Because rumor has it, he can track a snowflake through a blizzard. However, he's as cold and disobliging as a winter storm and flatly refuses to help, despite her offer of payment.

Sterling Taggart knows how to handle trouble. He's been tracking it down his entire adult life and has the reward money to prove it. But after trouble ambushes him and leaves him for dead, he's rescued by Abigail and forced to recuperate in the noisy chaos of her family's home. As his battered body begins to heal, he wonders if it's possible to leave the past behind and settle down with a family of his own.

Old habits die hard, though, and when secrets emerge that reveal the identity of his father's killer-the man he's hunted for years-Sterling will have to decide between vengeance or a future with the woman he's grown to love.
