Critically acclaimed author Tamera Alexander pens a compelling tale of two conflicted travelers who forge an unlikely bond. Pursued by a Texas bounty hunter, Matthew returns to Fountain Creek, Colorado, to apologize to his brother for insulting his wife Annabelle and to share his Idaho homestead. Learning that his brother has left already, he answers an ad for someone to guide a widow to Idaho. But he's shocked to see the widow is Annabelle-a woman whose sordid past repulses him.
