After surviving the massacre of her parents by Confederate deserters, Susan Hurst is placed in an orphanage. There, she's drawn to the holy orders, and begins training to be a nun. But all the while she is tormented by thoughts of her young protector in the orphanage, how she loves him, how she still thinks of him . . . Daniel Crocker lost his family young, and learned to fight for himself-and others-at the children's home. Now, he's famed as one of the hardest, most ruthless frontier lawmen to ever slap leather. But just as he's ready to take a rest from his violent labors, he receives word that the little girl he used to stand up for is about to take her vows-and be lost to him forever . . . Brought together by a chance reunion in Wyoming Territory, Susan and Daniel find their hearts still bound by unspoken love. But before they can pursue a future together, they will have to confront the past that holds them apart.
