The neighboring Holden and Jessup ranches are anything but neighborly-Jefferson Holden and Kent Jessup loathe each other. But despite his father's long-held grudge, Haven Jessup just can't bring himself to hate, especially after Dakota Holden takes him in during a violent storm and Haven meets Dakota's friend, Phillip Reardon. Phillip accepts Haven for who he is, seeing through the mask Haven uses to hide his attraction to men, but their tentative and secret relationship will be under a huge amount of stress. Sabotaged fences, injured animals, unsavory plans, and Jessup family secrets will threaten Haven's newfound happiness and his hopes of a future with Phillip.
