Julia Gilliland has always been interested in the natural world around her, particularly the fossils and formations in the magnificent cave near her father's house. The cave seems plenty safe -- until the day a mysterious intruder steals the rope she uses to climb out. Rafe Kincaid is a man used to being in control -- of himself, his brothers, and his family's ranch. The last thing he expects is to find a woman trapped in a cavern on his land. Or to be forced to kiss her!
