✦ Synopsis

From Publishers Weekly

Seldom have the themes of trust and forgiveness been so well treated as they are in Anderson's (Annie's Song) latest. Ace Keegan, a legendary gunman, comes home to No Name, Colo., to avenge his murdered stepfather and learns that the killer's already dead. When the killer's son crosses Ace, Ace threatens to hang the boy until his sister, Caitlin O'Shannessy, offers herself to save her brother. Ace is impressed by the girl's courage but takes a raincheck. Even so, word begins to spread that the bargain was indeed consummated, and Caitlin's reputation is ruined. As both Ace and her brother try to convince her to marry, old well-founded fears of sexual intimacy resurface. Ace, despite his alpha-male persona, is a paragon of patience and understanding, a romantic hero in every way.

Product Description

A poignant tale of hope and healing -- a classic love story from a true master of unforgettable, emotionally rich romantic fiction, New York Times bestselling author.

Caitlin O'Shannessy's late father left her with many things: a Colorado ranch, enduring memories of pain and sadness, an unshakable mistrust of men ... and an adversary.

Ace Keegan has returned to No Name, too late to enact a rightful vengeance on his most hated enemy. The man who put a hole in Ace's life is dead, leaving a daughter behind to run the family enterprise. Though proud and strong as well as beautiful, Caitlin is caught off guard when Ace's calculated anger inadvertently destroys her good name. But Ace Keegan is a man of honor, determined to make amends by marrying the enchanting lady he wronged -- and to nurture with patience and love the light she guards in her damaged heart until it blazes with the power of a thousand suns.
