A cable TV reporter looking for her big break is determined to secure an interview with a war hero -- but a protective and tempting man stands in her way . . . More than anything else, cable TV reporter Andrea Malone wants a network job. And it could be hers if she gains a coveted interview with the aging General Ratiff -- especially if she uncovers the secret that drove him into seclusion at his Texas ranch. But Lyon Ratiff, the general's watchdog of a son, is making things difficult. Andrea may have a plan, but she has no way of knowing how Lyon's unexpected, undeniable effect on her will change everything, how they will both face a storm of suspicion and betrayal -- and how Andrea Malone will have to choose between the ruthless demands of her profession and the equally strong passions of the heart.
