Sole survivor of a mission gone wrong, Griff left the Navy to recover from his wounds and grief. The one person he’d loved had left San Diego while he'd been on a mission and hadn't returned or reached out. She’d said she was from Colorado. When Jake Cogburn offered him a job in Colorado, he said yes, never expecting he’d find the one who ditched him upside down in a ditch near the headquarters of Brotherhood Protector Colorado. When her sister was murdered back home in Colorado, Rachel West left her job as a California Highway Patrolman in San Diego and left the man with whom she’d fallen in love. Back in Fool’s Gold, she joined the sheriff’s department to protect others from a similar fate. In the background of doing her job, Rachel works the cold case of sister's murder. Finally onto a clue, she has become the target of someone who doesn't want the truth discovered. She turns to Brotherhood Protectors for help. On her way to meet with them at the Lost Valley Ranch, her car is run off the road and flips upside-down in a ditch. The one person she never thought she’d see again pulls her from the wreckage and he’s mad as hell. Though he can’t forgive her for leaving without saying goodbye, Griff can’t leave her unprotected. He offers to take her as his first assignment. As they close in on the truth, their love rekindles, and danger closes in on them.
