Nineteen-year-old Chey Michaels is being hunted, but not by just anyone; she is being tracked by the notorious bounty hunter Hawk, known all over New York because he always gets his prey. The fact that Chey is innocent of the crimes for which she is accused would mean nothing to him. Cheyas only refuge is the Kings Shadow, a horse farm in the beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky. Aided by the King family, Chey feels safe. That is, until Cody Masters enters her life. The handsome horse trainer poses even more of a threat to Chey, for he threatens to steal her heart. Chey knows she must not reveal her identity or dare let this man into her life. Her life is much too uncertain. Chey must first come to terms with her past in order to face her future. A future filled with love, terror, heartbreak and betrayal. A future which must be won with the love burning in her heart and for one small child that captures her soul. A future which may hold in its grasp her one chance to believe in the promise of eternity.
