A decision to compete in an endurance ride puts Deputy Sarah Murdock in danger when, during a training session, she and her horse become unwilling participants in a wild horse roundup and get separated.

In hopes of starting a new life, Beth Braddock moves to the cozy, coastal community of Mendocino. She soon realizes she is not alone when she meets Amy Thompson, who owns a gift shop, and Tom Miller, local bookstore owner. Although they have known each other for a few years, their relationship has been purely plutonic until now. One of them is looking for something more, while the other cannot seem to shake off skeletons from the past. Then Beth meets Paul Hayden, who has returned to Mendocino to run the family bed & breakfast after the passing of his mother. Together, these four people rediscover the importance of friendship, family, and love.

When Sarah's attempt at matchmaking ends in disaster, it begins a series of bizarre events that include at least one dead body, a mysterious stranger, an unwanted resident in a rancher's pond, a kidnapping, and Remy in charge of a growing menagerie. A chance meeting at Fee Reservoir has Sarah experiencing quite an attraction to Pete Yarbrough, the owner of the Silver Spur Saloon. After accepting his invitation to open mic night, she finds herself offering to haul his motocross trailer to a hare and hound race in the Nevada desert when his usual driver, and only pit crew member, is unable to go. While there, a collision and nearly fatal accident brings them even closer. A break in one of her investigations has Sarah relying on Pete's expertise of reptiles, and together they make a startling discovery. Of most concern to Sarah is the man who has interjected himself into Cindy's life. Dispatcher for the Sheriff's Office as well as a friend, she is unwilling to listen to Sarah's warnings until it's too late.

When a disagreement with a supervisor and an error in judgment put Sarah Murdock's career as an FBI agent in jeopardy, she moves back to California and takes a position as deputy sheriff in the quiet community of Surprise Valley. However, when she is sent to recover a dead body, a knapsack full of Native American artifacts is strapped to the old man, and the recovery becomes a full-blown investigation. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Many obstacles get in her way including a nosy neighbor who practically insists on helping with the investigation, a surprise visit from her urbanite sister, a robbery involving the mayor's mother, and an undersheriff who is an FBI reject, resents women deputies, and refuses to make the necessary contacts with the Bureau. Finally, Sarah takes matters into her own hands, and Special Agent Michael Baxter from the Art Crime Team arrives on the scene, ready for action - almost. More of a scientist than a lawman, he has a strange physical feature and cannot stand the sight of blood, and there is a lot of it when two prime suspects are found murdered.
