Avoir des difficultés à communiquer, se sentir mal dans sa peau : bien des tracas quotidiens s'expliquent par une mauvaise estime de soi. Pour autant, rien n'est irrémédiable. Comment se construit l'estime de soi et comment se développe-t-elle ? Quels sont les grands problèmes ? Comment évaluer son estime de soi ? Et, surtout, que faire ?

La plus terrible des prisons est celle qui n'a pas de murs. De la neige à perte de vue, une ourse affamée, pas une habitation à des kilomètres à la ronde. Seuls, perdus dans les immensités sauvages du Montana, à plus de deux mille mètres d'altitude, deux hommes se font face : un jeune Indien, accusé de viol avec tortures, et le juge qui l'a condamné. Chacun possède la moitié des informations qui pourraient les sauver. Ensemble, ils s'entretueront. Séparés, ils mourront.

This is an on-the-ground look at what happens when there are millions of public dollars "for the taking" and the corporate hyenas gather.

Owen Santiago hasn't been dealt the greatest hand in life, with one tragic event in particular changing her for seemingly forever. Not willing to let the hardships drag her down, she presses forward, making herself happy the best way she knows how and by any means necessary. Owen is perfectly happy, or so she thinks, and believes the last thing she needs is a man, especially one as masculine, handsome, bold, yet undeniably sweet as Conquer. But what she soon realizes is there is a vast difference between men and little boys.

In the previous installment, Owen was faced with her haunting past, and with nowhere to run. Having let her guard down due to being with the handsome and protective Conquer, will she be able to get away unlike the last time? Or will the perpetrator strike again, ruining the progress Owen has made personally and romantically? If so, Owen will quickly realize that Conquer loves very hard and is extremely zealous when it comes to his La Bella. Now that Conquer has decided to go against the grain and make Owen his official girl, he is forced to deal with the many people that don't agree.
