About the Book
Hearts collide
when a sheriff’s daughter asks a hardened US Marshal to join her fight
for justice and rid a small town of her corrupt father.
Wyoming Territory, 1876
US Marshal John “Hawk” Hawking is one of the most respected
lawmen in the West, so when a telegram arrives from the small town of
Sand Creek warning him of a death threat against him, he immediately
begins an investigation.
Posing as a farmer, Hawk heads to
Sand Creek, a town ruled by a violent and corrupt sheriff. Only one
person is trying to stop him—Liesl, the sheriff’s own daughter. When she
meets the self-assured and attractive new farmer, John, she hopes he
might help her in the fight for justice.
John is
completely unfazed by Sheriff Hodges’s attempts at intimidation, and
Liesl is quickly swept up by Hawk’s courage and integrity. Just as
quickly, Hawk finds himself falling for Liesl’s strength and bravery, as
well as her grace and beauty.
When Liesl discovers John’s
true identity, she feels betrayed. Despite her lingering distrust of
him, Liesl agrees to work with him to enact a dangerous plan that will
put the criminals away forever. Liesl must put her life, and her heart,
in the hands of his lawman if she has any hope of saving her family and
her town. (Goodreads)

My Thoughts
I am a big Sarah M. Eden fan. She writes some of the most beautiful stories and I just love her never ending knowledge with the research she does for her books.
This is a follow up story that ties in with The Sheriffs of Savage Wells and Healing Hearts. It is set in Wyoming and takes on a wild west adventure. I love the setting and my favorite character still remains to be Paisley who plays a big role in this novel. You do not have to read the previous books to enjoy this story but it does add a lot if you do!
I enjoyed this book, as it was a fun change of pace from Sarah's typical novels. It is not my favorite book of hers as I had a hard time connecting with the two main characters at times. But I still really enjoyed the unraveling mystery and the rough western small town setting. I felt like I was a part of an old John Wayne film.
Four stars.
Great for Sarah M. Eden fans AND those who love historical westerns!
