Publisher's Synopsis
A lawman afraid of history repeating itself. The woman who loves him. And the danger that unites them.
Boardinghouse owner Rosie Porter laid aside her dream of having a family of her own in favor of taking care of her sick father, long ago. Unsure if romance can still blossom for a woman beyond her prime, she's surprised to attract the attention of a wealthy boarder. Although tempted to accept his offer of a marriage of convenience, her heart longs for more. If only the man she really loves would come calling.
Sheriff Micah Lagrange's heart belongs to the blue-eyed boardinghouse owner, but they can never have a future together. Those dearest to him in the past paid the ultimate price for his choices, and he isn't willing to risk Rosie's safety. When she's hurt during a mysterious attack on her home, Micah sprints into action, determined to bring the culprits to justice. He'll have to let go of his fear if he hopes to ever truly protect the woman he loves and find peace for his wounded heart.
