**From a New York Times–bestselling author, “another frontier romance loaded with hot lead, steamy sex and surprising plot twists” (Publishers Weekly).

The past has a way of catching up with folks in Stone Creek, Arizona. But schoolmarm Lark Morgan and Marshal Rowdy Rhodes are determined to hide their secrets—and deny their instant attraction. That should be easy, since each suspects the other of living a lie. . . .

Yet Rowdy and Lark share one truth: both face real dangers. Such as the gang of train robbers heading their way, men Ranger Sam O’Ballivan expects Rowdy to nab. As past and current troubles collide, Rowdy and Lark must surrender their pride to the greatest power of all—undying love.

“Linda Lael Miller creates vibrant characters and stories I defy you to forget.” —Debbie Macomber, #1 *New York Times–*bestselling author of The Best is Yet to Come
