Carrick McCormick knows there is a special woman waiting for him. He can sense her but has yet to locate her. Moving to Lime Kiln Mountain is a calculated risk. She's near and now he has a better chance to find her. That's the first step. Explaining his nature, what he is and how he needs to live won't be as easy.
Rachel Rossington has one thing in common with every woman in small, rural Lime Kiln Mountain. She's curious about the town's newest resident, the reclusive Carrick McCormick. An early morning chance encounter puts her in his path - literally. She hits a dog and he almost hits her car.
Rachel harbors no schoolgirl illusions. She's a nurse in a small town. Her life is mundane, serene. Men like Carrick McCormick don't give women like her a second glance. Carrick's world is one of wealth and luxury, foreign to everything Rachel knows.
