Jeanne Latham is looking to escape from the devastation following the death of her husband, Ivan, in the crash of his private plane. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that Ivan’s mistress of several years, of which Jeanne knows nothing, dies with him. Newspaper reports and gossip convince Jeanne she needs to get out of Philadelphia. With no exact plan in mind, she drives west until an unexpected blizzard forces her to stop in the isolated area of Angel Fire, New Mexico. Asked to house sit for people going to sunnier places, Jeanne ends up in the isolated, and supposedly haunted, Whisnant Mansion ten miles from civilization.
It’s just her luck the owner of that crumbling monstrosity is Eric Monroe, the one person in the United States who dislikes her for marrying his best friend, multimillionaire Ivan Latham, a man 20 years Jeanne’s senior. According to Eric, Jeanne is a fortune hunter Ivan should beware of. Together by chance, hostility changes to curiosity, to adventure, to desire as Jeanne struggles with her memories that Eric dislikes her, distrusts her, and, even though they give into desire, he still pictures her as a fortune hunter.
