The
past has a way of catching up with folks in Stone Creek, Arizona. So schoolmarm
Lark Morgan and Marshal Rowdy Rhodes are determined to hide their secrets—and
deny their instant attraction. That shouldn't be too hard, since each suspects
the other of living a lie. Her too-fancy clothes and big-city ways inspire
gossip all over town; his blond good looks and impudent grin belong to a man
sporting a gunfighter's coat.But Rowdy and Lark have one truth in common: the very real dangers they face. Like the gang of robbers wreaking havoc on the railroad heading toward Stone Creek—the men Ranger Sam O'Ballivan expects Rowdy to nab. And as past and current troubles collide, Rowdy and Lark must surrender their stubborn pride to the greatest power of all—an undying love.
