Emily Carson has been incarcerated in her own home since she was around 8 years old. Her father allows his ranch hands to do whatever they want to her--his wife--her step mother is not much better!! The only person who has ever shown her any love is her uncle--but he hasn't been around. His brother, her father, has told him he is no longer welcome at the ranch.
Cal, who worked at a neighboring ranch discovered that their fence had been moved and tells his boss about it. For reasons that will be revealed towards the end his boss is reluctant to allow Cal to go to the sheriff or even to confront the other ranch owner about it. He does anyway.
Cal walks into the ranch and thankfully is able to stop the rape of Emily. Of course that nearly starts a war between the ranches. Cal is bound and determined to get the girl out of there at any cost--he does go to the sheriff--not that that helped. BUT--the sheriff tried to notify the ranch owner but it ended up in the hands of the uncle!!
There are a couple of twists and turns and a lot of it will make you want to cry for Emily. But she is stronger then she thinks!! The ending is definitely a happily ever after.

Ten years after his wife and son’s untimely death, and Cal Benson is still chasing ghosts.
To bury the grief, he threw himself into work at the Garrett Ranch with a vengeance, rising to the position of foreman. His arms may have been empty, but his time is always full. It’s a way to get by at least. Cal’s peaceful if lonely existence is thrown into turmoil when he discovers a land grab in progress. When he visits the neighboring ranch to confront its owner, he discovers a secret that has been buried for close twenty years.
Emily Carson is a ghost, or may as well be.
Trapped on her father’s ranch and at the mercy of his ranch hands day and night, Emily prays for some escape. When Cal Benson barges onto her father’s property, she can’t help but feel like someone above has finally decided to listen. But of course, fate is never that kind, and love is never simple. Emily knows that she can’t possibly dwarf the shadow of Cal’s late wife, or replace what he has lost.
With a war between the ranches on the horizon, Emily searches frantically for a way to keep Cal out of the line of fire and simultaneously guard her heart against the wounded cowboy. No men are really, truly safe.
Not even Cal.
