Lillian Chance and Cooper Sullivan met as teenagers when he visited his grandparents at their ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota. They became best friends and later lovers. But distance tore them apart. Lil started a career as a Biologist and soon opened a Wildlife Refuge on family land. Coop returned to New York to become a cop, then a private investigator. But when Coop's grandfather is hurt in an accident, he sells his business and returns to South Dakota. Seeing Lil again makes him regret leaving her years ago. His homecoming is marred by the murder of a caged cougar. His investigative instincts tell him that Lil and her wildlife preserve are being targeted. His heart tells him that he will do anything to keep Lil safe.

Nora Roberts has written a wonderful story set in the Black Hills. The atmosphere is terrific. Reading this makes me want to go back to visit the Black Hills again. Her characters are well-drawn and complex. We know Lil and Coop love each other, but can she trust him again after he broke her heart? I usually don't care to get into the villain's head, but in this case it gave the readers insight into his plans which made the suspense portion of this book more interesting. My rating: 4 Stars.
