Why we recommend it

A frontier guard and his captive bride headline this Colorado Rockies historical romance. Rugged wilderness, a marriage born of circumstance and a protector who guards more than the law set a tender, slow-building tone. For readers who like their captivity softer-edged and their darkness dialed down, with old-fashioned honor and a heat that warms rather than scorches.
