When a brutal ambush leaves their wagon train shattered and their group scattered across the Colorado wilderness, Marshal Owen Riley and resourceful Delaney Bridger find themselves fighting for survival—and fighting an undeniable attraction that ignites in the midst of danger. Stranded at a remote ranch with wounded companions and ruthless outlaws on their trail, these two must rely on each other to nurse the injured back to health and stay one step ahead of those hunting them. As they navigate treacherous terrain and impossible odds together, Owen and Delaney discover that sometimes the greatest danger isn't the enemies closing in, but the feelings they can't afford to ignore. Mary Connealy kicks off this thrilling frontier series with heart-pounding action, deep faith, and a romance that blooms brightest when everything else is falling apart.
