When the carriage pulled into the ranch yard Jake Malone hadn't seen Jessi, the orphan he and his brothers half-raised, since she was a tomboy they sent away to finishing school. The exquisite creature alighting from the carriage bore as little resemblance to that tomboy as a caterpillar does to a butterfly. Jessi grew into a temptress who inspires forbidden desire in the man who can't act like her big brother any longer.
The feelings between Jake and Jessi compel the younger Malones into hatching a plot to destroy the budding romance. Jake must choose between his devotion to his family and his love for Jessi. He must also protect Jessi from the obsession of a maniac on a killing spree.
