A woman with a troubled past. A minister in need of hope. Can love heal wounds and defy judgment in a frontier town?

Angeline Chandler never asked for the heartache that changed her life, but she's left alone and destitute after a brutal attack and her family's rejection. When a kind woman offers her a second chance in Tarnation, Texas, Angeline dares to hope for a future-even as she carries another man's child.

Grady McIntyre, the town's minister, is struggling to raise his young son after his wife's passing. When Angeline is suggested as a nanny, Grady seizes the opportunity. Their attraction is immediate, but Angeline believes a man of faith deserves a virtuous woman, not someone with her past.

As they build a new life together, gossip and prejudice threaten their happiness. When danger strikes, Angeline and Grady must stand together to protect their family and fight for the love they've found.

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, redemption romance, preacher hero romance, Texas frontier stories, marriage of convenience romance, strong heroine romance, and small town romance series.
