This book starts with a horrifying bloodbath. Rebecca Morgan’s extended Quaker family are on route to their new settlement when they’re mercilessly slaughtered for the sake of the money they carry with them. Except for Rebecca, the sole, shocked survivor. She’s found by hardened, half-breed, former gunslinger turned rancher Race Spencer. Whew. What an alpha male! He and his tough yet lovable band of cowboys take Rebecca and the money under their protection. Traumatized and terrified, Rebecca can’t understand how these men live by their guns, not by faith. Especially the fierce, worldly Race, who unexpectedly lights a sensual fire inside her. Race simply falls head over heels for this tiny woman who looks like an angel. ‘She was so precious. All his life, Race had heard the word “cherish,” but up until now he’d never loved anyone so much that he’d understood the meaning… A hard man with an untouched heart. Until now. This girl held his heart in her hands.’ Every time I read another book by Catherine Anderson, the raw emotions give me a few weepy, happy moments. Here Race and his men fight for their lives, time after time, but ultimately Race seeks only Rebecca’s love. The inevitable, explosive showdown will blow you away. Don’t miss this powerful, tender romance.
