Single father Joshua Mad Calf wasn't a romantic guy–but like his precious four-year-old daughter, he was enchanted by the princesslike Juliet Rousseau. Still, his focus needed to be healing his daughter's emotional wounds, not the fire ignited by a beauty with demons of her own….
After three stark years of widowhood, Heather Scarborough never expected to feel lavish emotions again. A chance encounter with a rugged, romantic stranger on a train proved her wrong. As the tracks spun out the miles, as day crept into night, Ben Shaw's astonishing sensuality reawakened the hungry, loving woman in her. Unfortunately, he also resurrected unwanted memories. Like her late husband, Ben was running from nightmares, running to what he thought was the woman of his dreams. Glimpses of his hidden pain tormented her, shattering their idyll in an explosion of guilt. With sudden anguish, Heather realized that loving Ben had torn her world asunder... yet only his love could make her whole.
