Lana Jacobs dreams of becoming a professional photographer. She loves to take pictures of the beauty surrounding her. Scenes of nature, such as hummingbirds and landscapes, challenge her to find the most interesting angles for her camera lens. Instead of spending her time looking at the world through a camera, Lana sits in an office, where she works at a profession she detests. Why? She tries to please her father.

She’s single. During her college years, guys took her on scary dates, and she learned not to trust men. Now, she has given up on meeting someone. She needs a vacation spent in peace. Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas will provide plenty of scenery and solitude.

The last thing she wants is to meet a guy, but on the first evening at Petit Jean, an intriguing man catches her eye…and her heart. Kyle Bankston, an attractive, lonely man recovering from a failed romance with a gold digger, drives to Petit Jean Mountain every evening to enjoy dinner in the quaint lodge. He doesn’t want to become involved with anyone else, but he finds himself drawn to Lana.

Lana has hoped she could leave the baggage of her miserable past. In a new location for one week, she hopes to sleep through the night without the nightmares that have plagued her, but the dreams have come with her. After spending a night at the lodge, a despicable man gropes her. Something about him reminds her of a guy who ruined her college social life.

Her sinister past emerges when she least expects it. Lana needs courage and strength to combat the evil forces she encounters. The hazards of her life can cause her to shrivel into a passive person, or she can benefit from her experiences so she can let her love shine.
