She had no idea from who or what, but she knows that there is someone on her heels, just waiting for the chance to take her captive. She has nothing but a broken leg and a head injury to tell her how she ended up in one of the most rural places in Arizona, face down in the dirt without a horse or buggy in sight. She has no recollection of what she was doing so far away form her home in South Carolina, but then again, she can’t even remember what she was thinking five minutes ago. Between her pounding head and the searing pain in her leg, she has no idea how to make it to a safe place. Colt Kidd is recovering from the recent nuptials of the love of his life. Enveloping himself in his work and caring for his adventurous grandmother takes up most of his time until the small line shack he calls home houses a party of three. As if finding a strange, disoriented woman out in the middle of nowhere without as much as a horse in sight wasn’t stressful enough, she will have to stay with him and his grandmother until her broken leg heals. Even worse, the woman can’t seem to remember anything that happened in the past week. Sometimes trusting God for the outcome of a situation isn’t easy, but it’s possible with the healing power of love.

He doesn’t see the need for other people and his latest job makes him wonder why he even bothers to try to understand them.

Genre: Regency romance mystery (non-traditional). Molly's future was never in doubt: a respectable husband with a sensible house, preferably not too far from her parents' home. What more could a properly raised young girl want? It was not a question that even occurred to her - until she met Leonard Everton. The wealthy young inebriate of the neighbourhood, a gambler, a man without morals, without pride. His neglected estate was falling into ruin and he had no friends. It was just a chance meeting, something the family could forget about as soon as it was over. But not Molly. Leonard's behaviour did not match that reputation. He was not degenerate - he was frightened. And she wanted to help.
