Synopsis

Hailed as a "shining talent"  who  "soars above the rest,"  bestselling author  Patricia Potter follows the success of  Wanted and Relentless  with a stunning love story that confirms her status  as "as master storyteller."   Only  the desire for vengeance had spurred Wade Foster  on, until the last of the men who had destroyed his  family lay sprawled in the dirt. Now, badly  wounded, the rugged outlaw closed his eyes against the  pain... and awoke to a tender touch. He'd never  asked Mary Jo Williams to save him, couldn't  understand why a lawman's widow hadn't the sense to leave  a stranger to his fate. But the daring beauty  refused to abandon him. And soon, when a posse gets  too close, Wade will have to choose between fleeing  and risking everything for this dauntless woman  who could show him how to live--and love--again.

Reviews

Knowing she needs help getting her Colorado ranch up and running, Mary Jo strikes a desperate bargain with the wounded stranger she has been caring for-he will stay and get things established, she will pay him and then send him on his way with a horse. But passion, prejudice, and the stranger's violent past change the dynamics of the story in unexpected ways. A tormented hero who feels he doesn't deserve to live; a gritty, defiant heroine wary of risking her heart once again; and a full complement of wonderful secondary characters combine in this involving story that moves along without feeling rushed. Potter's previous work includes Wanted (Bantam, 1994).
