Will MacLaren, one of the MacLaren brothers from Fire Mountain, is a bounty hunter. He started his hunt five yrs. ago after his pregnant wife was murdered and he nearly died during the attack on he and his wife. He has tracked down all but one man, Chet Hollis, who he had heard was in Cold Creek, Colo. His hunt for Hollis leads him to the Big G ranch where he takes a job while biding his time to get Hollis. The ranch is currently run by Amanda Taylor while her parents are away. Will gets involved in trying to find out who is stealing cattle from the Big G and prevention of theft of valuable horses from the ranch. He doesn't want to be involved in these matters, the same way he doesn't want to be involved with Amanda. But she is the first woman in five yrs. that has moved him emotionally. Amanda knows that Will is a loner and drifter, he will leave one day; she knows he has something in his past driving him but he avoids personal relationships with everyone on the ranch. Even with his pushing her away, she is pulled toward him.
