U.S. Marshal Walker has one mission in life; Justice. He is the badge, the one who draws the line and dares the devil to cross it. Without his badge his mission will fail and the man he’s been tracking for years will escape justice. Again. For Michael, bringing this particular devil to justice is personal, but a false accusation threatens his badge and his mission. So, he strikes a bargain, a marriage of convenience with the one lady who threatens all his carefully laid plans.
Laura Jenkins prayed for one thing: A way. A way to escape the devil her mother betrothed her too. So, when the man she’s secretly loved for years offers her a marriage of convenience she jumps at the chance. She is a lady, and her privileged life in Boston did not prepare Laura for the harsh realities of the Texas frontier. As doubt and fear plague her, she relies on her faith and God’s love to light her path.
As danger closes in and the shadows of the past rise, Michael and Laura’s fragile bargain becomes a battle between fear and faith, duty and desire, sacrifice and love. With killers on their trail, they must rely on each other and choose what they are willing to risk for love.
