A tragic twist of fate leaves a sultry Italian beauty alone and widowed in Busted Heel, Wyoming. She has little more than a pocketful of dreams, a memory of love, and a determination to create roots despite the obstacles.

From the moment he saw lovely Rosa, the hardened town marshal knew she'd be trouble for him in far too many ways. However, his tidy plan to send her packing meets with unexpected opposition. Not the least of which is his own desire.

The marshal hides a shadowed past behind his ice-blue eyes. A past that could threaten everything as the attraction between them threatens to become more.
