What's hidden in the Winding Stair Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma? Rainey Chapman has three young, troubled boys in her care. When they witness a crime, Rainey's difficult job becomes deadly serious. Until the criminals are caught, she must hide the boys at a secret location known only to Seth Whitman -- a small-town cop with a secret of his own. Rainey's never met a man like Seth, but she has met a cop like him -- her father, gunned down over ten years ago. She's vowed that she will never fall for a man who puts himself in danger every day. Even if he's become a father figure for the needy boys...and even if he's everything she's ever wanted in a man.
