Faith Williams is running from a future she didn't choose. Disguised as a widow, draped in black, and traveling by stagecoach across the rugged Texas landscape, she hopes to leave her troubles-and an unwanted betrothal-far behind. With every mile, she clings to the hope of a fresh start, but the frontier is as unforgiving as the past she's fleeing. When outlaws ambush the stagecoach, Faith's carefully crafted plans unravel in an instant, leaving her stranded and vulnerable. Texas Ranger Morgan Miller lives by his badge and an unshakable sense of duty. Brave and steadfast, he's spent years protecting the innocent and bringing justice to the wild frontier. When he stumbles upon a stagecoach under attack, he doesn't hesitate to intervene. Saving Faith and the other survivors sets him on a path he never expected-one where duty and desire become impossible to separate. With danger closing in and the truth threatening to surface, Faith must choose whether to keep running-or to trust the rugged ranger who's vowed to keep her safe. Morgan knows he can protect her from the dangers lurking in the shadows, but can he shield his own heart when love is the greatest risk of all? In a land where danger rides on the wind, will love find its way through the storm?
