Caitlyn Daniels never expected to love a wanted man ? or to lose him without ever telling him the truth.

Dakota Cabe rode into her life like a storm and left just as fast, driven out of town by the law and hunted by bounty hunters. Caitlyn understood why he disappeared. What she didn't tell him was that he left more behind than a broken heart.

Years later, Caitlyn's son is taken by ruthless outlaws, and the only man capable of finding him is the same desperado who once walked away.

Dakota never knew he had a child.

Now that child's life depends on him.

Forced together by danger and driven by guilt, Caitlyn and Dakota must face brutal enemies, old betrayals, and the passion they never truly buried. Trust doesn't come easily to former lovers, especially when both have learned to survive alone.

But to save their son, they'll have to put aside pride, anger, and the past... and decide whether love is still worth the risk.
