The bandits who murdered her father are back, but can she trust the sheriff to protect her home and her heart?

Sheriff Heath Monroe believed the wrong man, and although California's most notorious gang leader was eventually brought to justice, Heath's error shattered the confidence of the people he serves. With reelection looming, Heath is desperate to prove his worth. So when he learns of a new threat to the citizens of California, he doesn't hesitate to take action, even though he knows the job will endanger the lives of those he cares about—something he swore he'd never do again. Haunted by the ghosts of past mistakes and second-guessing every decision, Heath sets out to put an end to California's most dangerous bandit gang, once and for all.

When the bandits who murdered her father return to her valley, memories of a friendship cut tragically short drive her to work with the all-male posse pursuing the gang in search of justice. Despite her determination to remain guarded, Heath Monroe's steadfast integrity and unexpected humility begin to crack her defenses. But can she rely on the widower leading them, or will his secrets confirm her belief that no man is to be trusted?
