Salt and Sinew

For two years, reclusive rancher Beckett Hale has harbored a quiet obsession with Dr. Maren Cross, the veterinarian whose testimony sent his brother to prison. When a dangerous ice storm strikes the Montana wilderness, Beckett orchestrates her arrival at his remote ranch for calving season and conceals the fact that the roads have cleared. Working tirelessly through freezing nights to save his herd, Maren uncovers chilling evidence of his meticulous surveillance. As their mutual attraction deepens and long buried family traumas come to light, both are forced to confront a dark entanglement of captivity, truth, and undeniable devotion.
