A National Willa-Award Winner. Belle Chere is looking for a man—even though she has nothing but loathing for the guy. It has nothing to do with her colorful youth. She's paid for those stunts. Yet, her stubborness makes her a fool. By misjudging a man with a grudge, she's s served a cold slice of revenge. Whit no faith in the sheriff, who she's known since he was in diapers, she plans to stop the man who is destroying her safety. To disguise her search for him, she joins the Ladies Mountain Trek. Unfortunately the hike is overpopulated with whining, drama, and woo-hooery. The ghosts of her youth have started to rise once more. They haunt her daylight dreams, demanding that she choose once again —which is more important—human life or justice.
