Newly widowed, pregnant and alone in the Wyoming wilderness, Hannah Wentworth agrees to marry Flint Creed, a bitter man who is in desperate need of a wife, and as the danger of the wild frontier surrounds them, the greatest threat of all are the secrets between them.

"Sarah Hawkins survived capture by the Sioux, but after her escape she faced public scorn. Now, she'll do anything to start over, and the dusty town of Defiance promises the anonymity and security she needs. Before she melts into the shadows, though, it's her mission to put a great injustice to rights, and that means jeopardizing her safety once more. But this time, she's not alone. Without meaning to, Sarah has fallen under the protection of Logan Taggert, a rough-and-tumble trader unused to caring for others-and yet unable to ignore the tempting, tenacious woman's plight. Though she refuses to trust him, Logan won't leave her side, keeping her one step ahead of danger...even as she takes hold of the very thing he never thought he'd risk: his heart."--P. 4 of cover.
