Gina Elwood has left her former life to move to Pepper Gulch, Utah. It’s a quiet, simple life, full of friends and good cheer, and she’s determined to be grateful for what she’s got…until she notices the handsome young sheriff. Suddenly, everything she’s grateful for doesn’t seem like quite enough. But there are other problems at hand. Sheriff Johnson is a good, honorable man, and he’s a good friend to Gina. But something is holding him back from taking the next step… Riley Johnson has dreamed of having a wife and a family of his own – but some dreams are simply not compatible, and as he takes on the mantle of sheriff, he realizes the law may be the great love of his life. Besides, if he lets the pretty Gina into his heart, he runs the risk of putting her in danger. And she’s far too important for that… As Gina and Riley try to figure out where their paths lead next, they come across more trouble than they bargained for – bank robbers, an outlaw gang, and the most dangerous of love.
