Publisher Description
They had both loved and lost. Can they risk loving again?
He would give her his name. Nathan Taylor’s wife saved his life in a tragic shooting five years earlier. Now sheriff of Devils Lake, he’s shut his heart down to feeling and focused on bringing law and order to town. But not everyone’s interested in settling the Dakota Territories, and he finds himself indebted to a woman who threatens the barriers surrounding his heart.
She would win his heart. Her husband’s dying wish and viscious enemies send Lydia Flynn to Sheriff Nathan Taylor, a man whose knowledge of grief offers her the comfort she needs and whose sense of honor compels him to offer marriage. But both a widow and a bride, Lydia is torn between the husband of her past and the man who values her life above his own.

Easy read but a huge flaw
The book was easy to read. There were a lot of characters and everyone had a story which kept the reader entertained. But there was one huge flaw at the very beginning of the story that I personally could not get past.
The heroine is sent to the hero by her dying husband who had been ambushed and gut shot. Unbeknownst to her, he has written a letter to his friend asking him to care for and marry his wife. Let’s not even touch on the fact that this man, near death’s door, is able to get paper, a writing implement, the deed to his ranch, and an envelope on his own in order to compose this letter. That’s bad enough but not once in this lengthy letter does he mention who shot him or why or provide any information about his murder. Did I mention the letter’s recipient is the local sheriff?
This flaw hung like a shadow over the book and prevented me from thoroughly becoming invested.
