He’s running from a hangman’s noose. She’s fighting a war for her land. God brought them together, but a secret this dangerous could tear them apart.
Kansas Territory, 1870.
Ellie Sutton has no room for error. A widow raising a young daughter on a drought-stricken homestead, she faces a ruthless cattle baron determined to steal her water rights. She prays for a miracle, but instead, she gets a stampede—and a stranger who rides into the jaws of death to save her little girl.
Griff is a man defined by the miles he’s put between himself and his past. A fugitive doctor framed for murder, he knows staying in one place is a death sentence. But with a broken leg and a blizzard closing in, the Drover is trapped in Ellie’s small cabin. As he heals, he finds himself drawn to the fierce woman who tends his wounds with a grace he doesn’t deserve.
As winter deepens, Griff becomes the protector Ellie never asked for, and Ellie becomes the home Griff never thought he’d find. But when the snow melts, the law will return.
With a bounty on his head and a land war erupting on her doorstep, Griff must make an impossible choice: ride into the sunset to keep his secrets, or stay and fight for the woman who taught him that even a broken man can be redeemed.
