He survived his past, but this reformed outlaw is falling for a woman hiding secrets of her own… Don’t miss this beloved classic from #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller.
Where does an outlaw go when he’s ready to turn straight? For Wyatt Yarbro, reformed rustler and train robber, Stone Creek is his place of redemption. Setting his sights on winning over the lovely Sarah Tamlin provides even more motivation to clean up his act as soon as possible. Men like him don’t usually get women like Sarah, but he’s determined to beat the odds.
What he doesn’t know, though, is that Sarah keeps a dark secret behind her prim and proper facade, even as she starts falling for the charming, sexy Wyatt. When a vengeful enemy prepares to unleash havoc on their peaceful town, Wyatt and Sarah will discover that they can’t hide from the past. To win the fight, they must believe in something they never trusted before—the hope of tomorrow.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Miller's third Stone Creek novel (after 2008's A Wanted Man) gets as hot as the noontime desert. In early 20th-century Arizona territory, Wyatt Yarbro leaves behind his life as an outlaw as he temporarily replaces his brother as the deputy marshal of Stone Creek and sets out to woo Sarah Tamlin, the intelligent and beautiful daughter of a local banker. The somewhat predictable plot line is enhanced as Sarah's secrets are carefully revealed, and the relationship between Sarah and Wyatt sizzles in a series of very sensual love scenes. Miller's portrayal of Sarah as a strong, independent woman sets this novel apart from customary tales of the damsel in distress and the rescuing hero. Instead, Miller focuses on Sarah and Wyatt's shared and separate vulnerabilities and how they find it easier to face the difficulties of everyday life when they're together. Well-developed, personable characters and a handful of loose ends will leave readers anticipating future installments.
