For most of her life, Becca Monroe's been running. The urge to see what lay beyond the next horizon took her away from Donner's Mountain and the man she loved. Now, back for what will surely be her grandfather's last Christmas, she's caught in a tangle of unresolved emotions that leave her torn between the impulse to flee and the desire to stay.
Jack Donner never stopped loving Becca, even though she deserted him. Better than anyone else, he knows how cruel it would be to fetter her wild spirit, and he doubts she could ever be happy living in one place, on his mountain.
Can memories of Christmases past remind Becca what truly matters? And can love convince Jack to give her one more chance, even if it means risking his battered heart?
