Publisher's Synopsis
Heidi Fortuna has never wished to wed, but when her father brings her and her sisters to Needful, Texas to become mail-order brides, she finds a safe haven in which to hide.
Careful, shy, and quiet, Heidi finds work at the local boarding house and is content to stay there serving others in obscurity.
When a rough-looking man with hard eyes and a big pistol on his hip comes to town, Heidi finds herself assisting him after a cat leaves him battered and bleeding.
Boden's past is hidden in darkness where he would like it to stay. A hard man who has led a hard life, he is seeking peace in the tiny town of Needful. When shy Heidi catches his eye, her kindness is everything he has never been.
Will danger bring two unlikely people together or separate them for life?
