When Sarah Davis moves to Laramie, Wyoming, to help take care of her sister Sylvia's children, she accidentally meets choir director/bartender Lindsey Hobbs, who also manages an old western town tourist attraction. The headstrong Lindsey is always in control and used to having her way--especially with women. So she is totally unprepared when she finds out Sarah has her own ideas about control. Sylvia's dire warnings to Sarah about Lindsey's sordid past threatens to keep them apart, and Lindsey's secret agenda while conducting a Bible Study almost backfires on her. After a tragedy involving Lindsey's preacher/father and interference from her twin sister Leslie, everything comes to a head. Is the love between Lindsey and Sarah strong enough to triumph?

Imagine a blizzard, a mall lockdown, and an "accidental" meeting between two women. Although Jordan and Andy are inexplicably drawn to each other, they have seemingly insurmountable problems. First of all, they are years apart in age. Second, they have extremely different lifestyles. Jordan is a lesbian and a firefighter/paramedic, and Andy is straight and married to a man. In the midst of the ever-present background of a global superstorm looming on the horizon, Jordan and Andy again connect with each other "accidentally" several months later. Initial denial of a May/December relationship and differences in lifestyle gradually change from friendship to love. But at what cost?

But not before Shannon and Jo go through some agonizing emotional moments, especially when Shannon comes face to face with her long-lost love of ten years ago--Kim--who is now a shaman among the Aborigines. After this momentous encounter, does Shannon and Jo's relationship have any chance of surviving?
