As Abby and Roark work together, their relationship blooms, but it isn't until they travel to the Espinoza family ranch that Abby learns to believe her heart.

When a murder takes place at the ranch, Abby's faith and trust in Roark is tested. Is love in the cards for THE ART APPRAISER AND THE LAWMAN?
