She's got no time for romantic entanglements. Besides, having been orphaned at a young age, she's had enough abandonment to last a lifetime.For mountain-climber-turned-sportscaster Payton Reese, risk is what makes everything worthwhile.

Suddenly he finds himself strangely captivated by a beauty in coveralls...and wanting to teach her a thing or two about living life for herself!But how can he be what she really needs...without changing his course?
