Rugged rancher and widower Jake Henderson could have told you the exact day his life ended—it coincided with the day his wife was killed. Because for the longest time Jake felt that he wasn't really alive, either. And then came that invitation to dance—from a woman with the best pair of legs he'd ever seen. And looking up, he saw that she had a face to match.... Suddenly Jake was falling fast, though he doubted that lovely investigator Rachel Quinn saw him as her ideal man—prime suspect was more like it! But if he could clear himself of the latter charge, could he still be convicted of the former?
