Connie Meyer, with her dreams shattered, wants to be left alone to live her life in peace. She finds that difficult to do when her estranged husband's mother insists that she return to her son and a marriage she no longer wants-a marriage that does more harm than good. Desperate to escape, Connie returns to Vail Mountain, the one place she had truly felt alive. However, her troubles soon follow her, and she gets more than she bargained for as she fights not only her past but the intense feelings that one newly elected sheriff arouses in her. Jacob Tanner is weary of city life and the never-ending stream of criminals that plague New York City. He resigns from the police force after a drug bust goes wrong, landing himself in the hospital to face his mortality alone. Uncertain about the direction of his life, he learns of the new sheriff's position on Vail Mountain and takes a gigantic leap of faith - faith that he isn't making a big mistake. Armed with nothing but a few possessions, Jacob relocates, only to find himself falling hard for a woman whose blue eyes speak of pain and loneliness. As he battles his worst nightmare, can Jacob show her there is more to life than what they have been dealt and convince her that with him, nothing is impossible?
