Abigail McKenzie finds herself caring for two men injured in the same train robbery on the Colorado frontier. David is gentle and kind, offering her the happiness she thought she had lost forever. He represents everything proper and safe that a respectable woman should want. Jesse is his opposite. Rough, violent, and rudely handsome, he embodies everything Abigail knows she should avoid. Yet Jesse's mocking words invade her dreams. He awakens feelings she never knew existed and challenges her at every turn. Abigail fights against Jesse with all the rigid propriety she can summon, but something deeper stirs within her. Long suppressed desires burn beneath her controlled exterior. As both men recover under her care, Abigail faces an impossible decision that will force her to choose between the safe path and the dangerous pull of her heart.
