West Texas, 1883
Rancher Cade McKinnon has always scoffed at love at first sight...
Until he walks into his kitchen and finds Jessie Monroe cooking supper. Jessie and her two kids make him long to turn his ranch house into a true home. But can a woman who holds honesty above all forgive being lied to-even for her own safety?

After surviving a nightmare of a marriage, Jessie is hard-pressed to believe any man's promises...
Until she meets Cade, who makes her dream of a better life. She's attracted to him, true enough, but can she trust him...and her yearning heart?

Cowboys, cattle rustling, romance, and suspense all rolled into one!
