"We'll Meet Again..." Those were the last words of Wade Preston as his life's blood stained the pure white of Thea's wedding dress, draining onto the church floor where they were to have been married. Two years later, Thea knew the injured stagecoach robber in her sister's examining room couldn't be the same man she'd loved since she was eight years old, the bridegroom who'd been tragically killed by a gunman's bullet. His dark eyes might have the same smoldering look as Wade's, his deep voice might send shivers of longing down her spine, but his personality was tough and untamable, so different from the tender caring of her fiancé. This hard case could never arouse her slumbering passions, simply could not be the lost lover who still possessed her steadfast heart...or could he?
