Annie Peacock is a beautiful young judge who is the head of the park's judicial system, and Will McCarroll is a long time backcountry ranger who is obsessed with stopping poachers. Will's willingness to break every rule in the book has earned him a formidable reputation. It's also earned him Annie's disdain. When Annie's mother is kidnapped, Will helps Annie search, and the attraction between them starts to sizzle - and then burn. But when Will learns of a plan for trophy hunters to shoot the park's cherished 'alpha female' wolf, he disappears into the backcountry to stop them. And it's there, in the wilderness of Yellowstone, that Will discovers the true extent of the danger. All is not as it seems in Yellowstone country - a land where people are far wilder than the park's animals. Danger lurks around every bend of the trail, and passions between Annie and Will climb as high as the snow capped peaks.
