Description
Callie Nolan is a half-Shoshone orphan, young, alone, frightened, and longing to belong to someone. Rand McCullough is the most notorious outlaw in Nevada, tough, solitary, feared, living only for revenge, and running from more than the law. When they meet, a love is born that transcends all obstacles-neither the demands of the law nor the prejudices of their enemies can thwart their love. But Callie discovers that though the outside world cannot conquer Rand, his inner demons might. She fights to stay with and sustain the one man with whom she feels safe, the one man who can hold her heart.
Rand McCullough lived his life trying to undo the last terrible days of the Civil War because those days had cost him his family. One act of kindness to this desperate young woman abandoned on the Nevada desert was destined to teach him that life cannot go forward when you won’t stop looking back.
