"... delivers it all with page-turning romance!" -- Nora Roberts, New York Times bestselling author

Thad Conway is a loner by choice. His reputation as a dangerous gun-slinger is known far and wide in Texas.

Caroline Adams is on her way to a respectable job as teacher in the little town of Hope, Texas, thousands of miles from her ugly past. But when her past is exposed, Thad's skill with a gun may not be enough to protect her from the wealthy man who steals her hard-earned respect by spreading vicious rumors.

It will take a special kind of hero to help her win back her pride, and save her life in the process.
