He was pure trouble for an honest woman…Mattie St. Clair knows that Clint Beaudry is a dangerous man the moment she sets eyes on him. Though she refuses the tall, dark, devastatingly handsome gunman a room in her boardinghouse, Mattie cannot turn him away a second time when he is carried to her door critically wounded. It's best if she just lets this troublesome stranger mend and move on— considering the unwanted feelings of desire he stirs up within her whenever he turns his deep, dangerous gaze her way.
She was more woman than a man could handle…This beautiful, strong-willed widow does something special to the hardened ex-marshal with her tender, healing touch — tempting Clint to reconsider his vow never to let another woman into his perilous life. Despite her stubborn independence, Mattie's barely restrained passion tells him that she's been too long without a good man at her side. And since she and her young son both are in desperate need of a hero, what choice does Clint have — except to become one?
