Josh — Cheryl Wright

Emily Jacobson reaches her lowest point during the three days police and volunteers search for her sister Laney, lost while hiking on a local mountain. Deputy Josh Wrangler was her tower of strength during that time and turns out to be her sister's saviour.

After an emotional reunion with Laney, Emily turns her attentions to Josh, who is the ultimate loner after tragedy struck close to home some years earlier. As much as he denies his own feelings, the moment she puts her arms around him in a thank-you hug, he knows he's a goner.

Can one emotional hug really change this man's life? And can Emily push aside past prejudices to make a life with Josh?
