Rafe Randall has been making his way west, riding as far as he could from his past life and his memories of the horror of the war between the states. Aiming to start a new life in San Francisco, he makes a stop in small town in Montana and walks into the Hell’s Gate Saloon. Where he sees her.
Maggie Walker liked the life she’d made for herself just fine. She certainly didn’t need to complicate it with a man like Rafe. A war-weary southern charmer with whiskey eyes, a slow, melting grin, and a voice like smoked honey. Hard to resist, but she had standards. And secrets to keep.
Somehow, though, he got under her skin, and when she felt the heart of him, his valor and strength led her to believe that the future might hold something completely different for her.
