The Stranger

Laura Shafton a fearful widow and a scarred beauty. So

A terrifying encounter with a band of desperados left

when a tall, dark stranger came knocking on her door,
she greeted him with a rifle—cocked and loaded.

Every instinct told her to turn Caleb McCurdy away—

his hard body hid a warm heart that melted all her fears
except she needed a man's help. Soon Laura discovered

away. But the dark places in Caleb's past would divide
them, unless Laura could learn a tough lesson
about forgiveness.
