What this book is about
Cooper Sullivan and Lil Chance spent a magical summer together on her family's farm in the Black Hills. Cooper left, they lost touch, and both built separate lives. When Cooper returns as an adult to help his grandparents, he finds Lil running a wildlife refuge she's built from nothing — and someone using the mountain lions she protects to terrorize her. Nora Roberts's standalone romantic suspense is part love story, part wilderness thriller.
