Andra was kidnapped and sexually assaulted five years ago while she was in college. Although she was able to go back and complete her degree, she has walled herself off from further pain and further joy. She's living in her own small house on her father's ranch in Montana, training horses. She takes a chance on hiring LJ, a Black cowboy from New Orleans. Not knowing about her past at first, he treats her like a regular person, which is a new feeling for her, since everyone else around their small community has been extra careful about how they speak and behave in her presence.
LJ likes the work, but he has concerns about being too far from his mother as she deals with health issues. At Andra's father's ranch, he's also torn between his attraction to Andra and being treated poorly by others around him, including Andra's father.
Can these two people find a way to explore the possibility of a relationship, while each feels the tug of family ties, while navigating the deep trauma of Andra's assault? It seems to be a situation made for heartbreak.
