Dahlia Kincaid had found her peace at her Colorado ranch. She never imagined a threat from the past would follow her here-or that it would bring a dangerous, powerful, gloriously masculine male...The Triple K Ranch was the last place Jim Tremaine believed his investigation would lead. He needed Dahlia to see he wasn't the predator he'd first seemed. Could he ask Dahlia to risk her heart - with everything to lose, but so much to gain?

A MEASURE OF LOVE… That was what Rafe Kincaid offered her. Yet Jessie knew it wasn't enough�for either of them. She'd come to protect the wild horses that roamed his land. But one look at the proud, defiant rancher was enough to warn her�it was her heart that was in danger.

And now he needed her expertise to help him build an emerald mine. But would risking her life again earn merely his gratitude, when what she wanted was his love?
