Trapped between her desire for revenge and terror that his threats will destroy those she loves, she flees into hiding, where an honest cowpoke named Andy Hackman offers her unexpected refuge.

Priscilla Atwater takes her dream job as a schoolteacher in a small Western town, only to discover that one of her students—the tall, rough-talking Hank Liddel—proves far more distracting than any lesson plan. When a stolen moment between them sparks a schoolyard scandal on her very first day, Priscilla must decide whether to follow the rules or follow her heart. Set in 1949, this Western romance explores what happens when a proper young teacher meets a man who doesn't quite fit the mold.

When Tom sets an impossible—and nearly fatal—test to prove Rex's worth, Sue's true feelings emerge in a way that will change everything.
