Vicky Thompson has secrets - big ones, and lots of them. She knows it's wrong of her to start working at Open Skies and not tell anyone the truth, but she doesn't have a choice. It's not just herself that she's protecting. All she's asking for is a chance... just one chance to start again. By contrast, Phil Dobson is nothing but totally open and honest about where he's come from: he's known neglect and violence and alcoholism, but he's built a new life for himself... moreVicky Thompson has secrets - big ones, and lots of them. She knows it's wrong of her to start working at Open Skies and not tell anyone the truth, but she doesn't have a choice. It's not just herself that she's protecting. All she's asking for is a chance... just one chance to start again. By contrast, Phil Dobson is nothing but totally open and honest about where he's come from: he's known neglect and violence and alcoholism, but he's built a new life for himself. He's steady and strong and stable, and he always knows when someone is hiding something. And Vicky is hiding a lot. As their attraction builds, Vicky is torn: if she gives in to her desire, shouldn't she tell Phil about her past? But if she tells him all the things that have happened and that she's done, she'll surely lose him. Or maybe - just maybe - he'll understand and want to protect her. But what if even Phil can't keep her safe from the human monster who hunts her? less

Three years ago, Annabeth Wheeler’s husband Cam died in a car accident. Since then, she’s forged a career writing about grief and coping with loss.

She goes to Open Skies Ranch to prepare her third book for publication, knowing that once it’s done, she’ll be free to end it all... moreThree years ago, Annabeth Wheeler’s husband Cam died in a car accident.

Three years ago, Eric Neilson was shot in the chest and told that his only hope was a heart transplant. He beat the odds – and he’s now at Open Skies to meet the wife of the man whose heart is now beating in his chest. He only plans to see Annabeth, shake her hand, maybe have a casual coffee. He certainly has no intention of telling her who he is. On Annabeth’s last night, she asks Eric to stay and make love to her: she needs to do one last life-affirming thing, to feel alive just for a little while. Eric is resistant, but he knows now that Annabeth is not really healing or moving on, and stays with her to offer comfort. What neither of them count on is developing real, strong feelings for each other. As they begin to fall in love, Eric grapples with the knowledge that he must tell her the truth. But if he does, won’t he lose her forever? Or maybe Annabeth will find it in her heart to forgive him… maybe it’s possible that together, they will both finally have a happy ending? less
