Lila Lawson lives a flat & monotonous life in Angel Falls Montana. She can't help but wish that her life were more exciting -- like the novels that she loves to read! After a shoot out on the street, the town's handsome new deputy, Burke Hannigan, hides out in her fathers store, gravely injured! Suddenly her life starts to get more exciting but when she learns the deputy hides a dangerous secret she is afraid she may get more than she bargained for!

Burke's outlaw past and his heavily guarded secret prevent him from being the "settling-down" type. But, under Lila's tender, nursing care he begins to rethink his future...and he begins to hope that maybe, Lila can be a part of it!
A great read with a romantic ending!
