Mathilda’s world is changed the day the barn burns, for
that day she loses her vision. She can still see what is
right, however: continuing to ranch, here in the Dakota
Territory. But she needs someone who will fight the men who
killed her folks, kidnapped her siblings and aim to drive
her off her land. Whom can she trust? The soft-voiced half-
breed who promises to protect her? For Reed, the blind
woman means redemption. A terrible mistake has set him on
this quest that leads to her property, but her hands on his
face, the touch of her lips—everything about Mattie feels
right. But first he must overcome his past and the hatred
inside, to look beyond, and to find what is valuable: not
just redemption, but love.
