He'd risked everything to be her hero, but was the price too high?

Once, he'd been boy-next-door handsome, but now Deputy Marshal Kyle Munroe seemed a dark, dangerous stranger! When threats against her father put her life in jeopardy, Jennifer Brook followed Kyle into hiding . . . until betrayal sent them into desperate fright. With no one to trust but each other, with nowhere to go but his arms, would Jennifer surrender herself to the brave knight who'd captured her heart?

Sizzling with sexual tension and the breathless thrill of love on the run, Pat Van Wie's novel explores the pleasure and pain of a dangerous desire. One touch of her lips gave him courage enough to confront his deepest fear, but unless they settled for shadows, could he keep her safe only by letting her go?
