Doug Hawkins, disgraced LAPD homicide detective, moves to a small Idaho town to find a peaceful existence. When he stumbles into a rendezvous at a remote mountain cabin with the barmaid from one of the town's two taverns, the last thing he expects is to be confronted by a good-looking blonde who charges from out of nowhere, attacks his truck with a tire iron and threatens him with arrest for trespassing. His relationship with the hot-blooded Alex McGregor goes downhill from there. He can't get along with her, but he can't ignore the emotions she arouses in him. The wealthy and reclusive Alex lives with her two cats in a hundred-year-old mansion on Wolf Mountain. She's busy traveling between Callister and L.A. where she owns two businesses. She wants only to be left alone, but she's a magnet for trouble. When a mysterious fire incinerates the old cabin located on her land and kills her alcoholic ex-husband, Doug's honed instincts lead him to suspect the worst. She doesn't want a man interfering with her life, but she's drawn to Doug who seems to be able to deal with all of her problems.
