Description:
When Todd Harris makes the move from the mean streets of Chicago to the sleepy roads of Marietta, Montana, it's not just his career that's changing--it's his entire life. Going from police officer to forest ranger isn't too much of a stretch, but getting used to how things work in a small town is. As he settles in, Todd realizes he loves the slower pace of the countryside, but then an Olympic gold medalist comes to town and shatters his hard-won peace.
The town's new forest ranger doesn't like attention, and he sure as hell isn't looking for any kind of relationship with someone who does. Though when Molly Cordero gets lost in the woods, and Todd is the one who saves her, the spark he's been trying to ignore smolders and ignites. It's then that he realizes there's a lot more to Molly than ambition and public adulation.
When Todd signs up for the Men of Marietta calendar shoot to raise money for Harry's House, a place for children and memorial to a fallen firefighter, Molly realizes the kind of man he is. With the shoot wrapping up, she faces a painful decision: return to her old life or give her new life with Todd a fighting chance.
