Sheila DeLacey was ready for a new life, especially after her mother-in-law insisted she remarry. In the middle of the night she fled from a life of privilege to go back to her home town. But nothing would ever prepare her for the troubles that awaited her. When tragedy strikes she owes her life to the handsome Sheriff in town, but she had lost her husband, a US Marshal in the line of duty, and falling for another lawman was not an option. But a lawman is exactly what she would need...
Sheriff Tom McAlister was focused on his work, making sure justice prevailed. He had long since given up on love after the tragic murder of his fiancé, that's until the beautiful Sheila arrives in town, but her family's homestead is the target of the Sawyer gang, and when a fire nearly claims her life, he feels obligated to protect her. Something underhanded is going on in the town of Wilmington, and he would do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this.
With their tragic pasts hanging over their heads like a dark stormy cloud, would there ever be room for new beginnings?
