When brash political consultant Aiden Montgomery meets logging company owner Rafe McCafferty, more than just sparks fly. There are accusations and innuendo being hurled into the air. Aiden is busy manipulating his way up the political ladder as campaign manager for an aspiring congressman when questions arise about the land being cleared for a new government development. The ax-man hired to do the job may have the answers, but can the two find common ground where politics and progress meet?

Stumping on the campaign trail will never be the same for Aiden Montgomery now that he is beginning to see through the shallow life of a political power broker. And Rafe is stumping in his own way, cutting down trees and building up a fortress wall around himself, creating a safe haven from being hurt by another man again. There are no clear-cut answers for either of them, that is, until they have to unite together for their own survival.

Can Aiden see the forest through the trees and discover true happiness? Is Rafe McCafferty willing to take a chance, and add someone new to his own family tree?
