"Wounded and on the run, Cade Gentry stumbles into a kind man who's on his way to become the new pastor of Angel's End. But not long after Timothy Key takes him in, Cade's enemies catch up with him, and the young pastor is killed in the crossfire. Cade survives, stealing Timothy's identity to escape and arrives in Angel's End on the brink of death. Leah Findley is the sheriff's widow, trying to make ends meet for herself and her son. Having the new minister as a boarder will help, but she isn't expecting him to be wounded when he arrives. And she definitely isn't expecting the feelings that the new preacher stirs deep inside her. The more time Cade spends with Leah, the deeper he falls in love. To Cade, she's an angel who's saved his life and given him the sense of hope he's never known. But he's not the man she thinks he is, and before he can find permanent shelter in Leah's arms, he must learn to have faith and put his former sins to rest ..."--Page 4 of cover.

Mary Connealy

"Standing over her third no-account husband's grave, Belle Tanner makes a vow--no more men. Now all she needs to do is get her cattle to market before winter sets in. But there's no one around except the drifter Silas Harden, and Belle is such a poor judge of men that she can't decide if he is worth hiring on. Silas just escaped a shotgun wedding--only to lose his money, his ranch, and his pride. Although he's determined never to get tangled up with womenfolk again, Belle and her four daughters seem to bring out the protector in him. And he can't seem to stop kissing Belle senseless. When a group of cowpokes, along with a white woman raised by the Shoshone, show up along the drive, Belle has her hands full. Can she keep her oldest daughter and Glowing Sun away from no-good cowhands--and herself out of Silas's arms? Will anyone get through this treacherous cattle drive unscathed and unhitched?"--P. [4] of cover.
