Lane and Anna were the only two survivors of a plane crash. Four other passengers had been killed. Three of Lane`s friends and Anna`s copilot were killed leaving them alone in the mountains. On the Mountain Her leg was broken and she had to depend on his skills to survive. She had been treated badly by her alcoholic mother's male friends which had made her very untrusting. He had a very bad marriage. His wife abandoned him and his baby daughter for the party life, alcohol, and drugs. This caused him to build a wall between himself and any woman who might try to get close. They had to depend on each other to survive the winter on the mountain. He had to set her broken leg and make sure she was taken care of plus make sure they both survived. Not until he saved her life a second time did she start trusting him, and working with him to survive. When the weather started to break, they decided to try to get off the mountain. They were both exhausted when they stumbled onto a hunting cabin belonging to a man named Steve Walker, which saved their lives.In the cabin there was food and a map showing them the trail out, and to a small town which was no more than a long day`s hike. There they parted ways and went back to their own personal lives not realizing how much in love with each other they were. With the help of Steve Walker, they were brought back together. This time she courageously saved his life when they found him in the high country where he had been helping Steve find some missing cattle.
The mountains had called to Steve for the better part of thirty years, but not until John Long came into his life did he have the opportunity to make his dreams a reality. A host of interesting stories about a long life in the mountains and a unique proposition by John finally brought Steve to a hidden valley in the Rocky Mountains, where he quickly fell into a contented life of solitude. A life in the remote mountains wasn't easy, and Steve soon found predators to be a daily source of concern. But Steve and his trusty dog, Mouse, soon became part of the land, living a comfortable life and preparing for a long, harsh winter. However, a small plane crash soon jolted Steve out of his quiet life and into a world where love was realized and where human predators were a far bigger threat than any animal he would encounter. Steve's devotion to a young woman and her children and an urgent need to protect not only their lives, but his life as well, soon led Steve to hatch a plan that would require using everything he had learned about the land- along with the unexpected help of a young pup.
