Renegades...
Lawmen...
Love's healing power...

Wounded by sadistic renegades who rule the borderlands, U.S. Marshal Kaed Turner understands he faces certain death. Then Fate and a war party of Choctaw Indians intervene, delivering him instead to an angel with the skill to heal him.

Jessica Monroe has already lost a husband and a brother to the outlaws who tortured Marshal Turner. As the rugged lawman lies bleeding on her bed, she faces a difficult decision. Can she afford to gamble with her heart one last time? For when Kaed recovers, he is sworn to join in the battle to wipe out the renegade gang—once, and for all.

When vengeance is done, will Kaed keep riding? Or will he return to claim his future with the beautiful woman the Choctaw call Fire Eyes?

Chapter One
"Don't kill me! Please!"
God, Beckley, don't beg.
The other marshal's tortured screams ripped through Kaed Turner like a war lance. And he couldn't do one damn thing to save Mitch Beckley. Right now, he had no choice but to sit where he was and listen to the young marshal's pleas, knowing that Beckley was going to die, no matter how he begged. Even though Kaed was tempted to do something, walking into Andrew Fallon's camp would be suicide for him. He had to wait. Hunker down here in this damn undergrowth, hide, and wait.
Another scream rent the still September evening.
Kaed's lips tightened, his gaze arrowing to the two young Choctaw girls who sat, stone-faced, beside the fire. They, not Mitch, had to be his primary concern now. Much as he'd like to do something to help the younger marshal out of the fix he'd gotten himself into, Kaed knew it was impossible. Crazy kid, trying to single-handedly take on Andrew Fallon and his rag-tag leftover holdouts from the war. Beckley should never have gone off half-cocked like he had. Now, he was paying for his impetuous decision. With his life.

Review by: ACWinOH on Aug. 15, 2012 :
This is my first Pierson read but not my last. I really enjoyed the story and felt I could be watching a genuine page out of the old West. Honestly, I prefer "clean romance" and thought I was in that genre when I chose this book but oh well, I can survive a few sexual scenes - I am a granny. The violence is graphic but not more than you'd see in a detective show nowadays.

I like the straightforward approach of this story - no verbal sparring, no longing glances - it is what it is.
