Hidden Mountain Ranch

Navy physician LT Sarah St. John's perfect vision of heaven includes horses and no one knows this better than her longtime friend and fellow Naval officer Jessi Colgan. When Jessi secures a week long working vacation to a renowned dude ranch in Montana the two girls couldn't be happier to spend time at the only ranch in Montan to be built by a German defector who housed and hid German refugees. Once Jessi and Sarah leave Virginia Beach and arrive at Hidden Mountian Ranch, the two young women find themselves submersed in hard ranch work, good looking cowboys, and even a medical emergency or two. But their vacation turns into a nightmare when Rena, a daughter of one of the ranch hands, goes missing. She's the third American Indian teenager to be abducted from that area in four weeks' time. Jessi and Sarah become embroiled in the drama, which is only amplified by Mother Nature, who steps in to create havoc, leading the friends through a dangerous maze of suspense, deception, and a touch of romance.
