Sara Medina is a designer and art dealer from San Francisco. She
matches her clients’ desires with fine and folk art from the world over--living
up to her thriving business named Perfect Touch. She still remembers her rural
childhood of hard work and poverty on the family dairy farm, but she keeps it
firmly in the past as she searches out new artwork and artists that are on the
breaking edge of acclaim. After she experienced the cultural riches San
Francisco had to offer, she decided her life would be that of an urban career
woman rather than a working mom commuting from the suburbs. With the intensive
hours and travel required to grow her business to the next level, she has no
time or energy left for romantic or family entanglements.
Jay Vermillion recently inherited Vermillion Sky, a ranch that
nestles up to Wyoming’s Grand Teton Mountains--and the estates of the rich and
restless. As a returned veteran of numerous deployments over the course of two
wars, he finds himself wrestling with the demands of a ranch that has been run
down during his father’s long illness. Between the urgent need to modernize and
revitalize the Vermillion Sky, as well as an unexpected and vicious fight with
his former stepmother over the custody of now-valuable paintings that were part
of his father’s estate, Jay has no time for finding a wife and creating a sixth
generation of Vermillions to ensure the family legacy continues.
When Jay hires Sara to appraise and market his father’s cache of
paintings by Harris “Custer” Armstrong, neither one expects the explosive
results of their eventual meeting in Jackson, Wyoming. In addition to a
mutually inconvenient attraction, they discover double murder at the edge of
the ranch lands and a potential betrayal even closer to home. All trails lead
to Custer’s artworks as valuable enough to kill for, especially an unknown
painted rumored to be called The Muse.
As Sara and Jay unravel the motive for the killings, they both
discover that love, like murder, doesn’t wait for a convenient time. On the
heels of that soul-shattering realization, Sara is targeted for murder.
Suddenly, the war-weary soldier finds something he is once again willing to die
for…
