Schoolteacher Hallie Wolcott and her
no-nonsense friend Pearl Parsons know there's got to be a
better place to live than the roughneck town of Whiskey
Bend, Colorado. When their friend Mary is assaulted by her
brutal stepbrother, it's the last straw. Hallie and Pearl
pull up stakes, rescue Mary, and put as many miles of
Colorado wilderness behind them as they can. But a violent
storm soon sends their journey careening in a different
direction.

Enter Eli Morgan, a quiet rancher deep in family
troubles-and pursued by unseen, ruthless enemies. Now with
Mary's vengeful stepbrother closing in on them all, Hallie
must learn strength, perseverance, and courage . . . if she
is to claim the life and love that can be hers.
