Publisher Description
A classic Catherine Anderson romance filled with hope.
Raised by a drunken brute, Caitlin O’Shannessy is proving to everyone that she’s not her father’s daughter. As honest as she is kind, Caitlin manages the family ranch and dreams of a different life. But when her brother gets in Ace Keegan’s way, Caitilin is forced to do whatever it takes to save her family.
Ace Keegan has returned to No Name, Colorado with one thing on his mind--revenge. Twenty years ago Conor O’Shannessy’s cruelty left a dark hole in Ace’s life, and he has returned to reclaim some of what he lost. But O’Shannessy’s daughter threatens to unravel his finely woven plan.
When Ace’s temper gets the better of him and he inadvertently destroys Caitlin’s reputation, he must fix it the only way he can--by marrying the daughter of his enemy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Seldom have the themes of trust and forgiveness been so well treated as they are in Anderson's (Annie's Song) latest. Ace Keegan, a legendary gunman, comes home to No Name, Colo., to avenge his murdered stepfather and learns that the killer's already dead. When the killer's son crosses Ace, Ace threatens to hang the boy until his sister, Caitlin O'Shannessy, offers herself to save her brother. Ace is impressed by the girl's courage but takes a raincheck. Even so, word begins to spread that the bargain was indeed consummated, and Caitlin's reputation is ruined. As both Ace and her brother try to convince her to marry, old well-founded fears of sexual intimacy resurface. Ace, despite his alpha-male persona, is a paragon of patience and understanding, a romantic hero in every way.
