Her calculated vendetta hits an unexpected obstacle when she meets Cole, an aloof ranch magnate raising two adopted orphans who feel an instinctive attachment to Nora. As long-buried medical records surface, Nora must balance her thirst for retribution against the welfare of the children she thought were dead.
