Widowed Michaela Strong has a soft spot for strays. It's the reason she took in the Wolf-dog she calls Boo. Sometimes a dog is dutiful, and then there is Boo. So, when he has run off to have an adventure and ends up causing a dreadful ruckus, Michaela goes out to bring him home. The crazy dog is always finding trouble, and this time is no exception... only this time trouble comes in the form of a handsome golden-haired stranger lying broken in the woods.
Judson Lee Harper just wants a new start. He's forsaken his sinful ways and with the Lord's help, he intends to forge a new life. Thirteen dead men and a stint in prison are a lot to forgive, yet he intends to succeed. But with a badly broken leg, an injured hand, and a missing horse, his new start might be delayed a bit. It's passing strange that he is rescued by a trio of women brought together by tragedy and determined to survive homesteading on Cripple Creek.
Michaela is drawn to the blue-eyed stranger, but giving in to desire is risky, and the man she is falling in love with has secrets of his own.
