He’s a man with a price on his head. She’s the woman with the heart—and the heritage—to save him.

Luke Sheldon has spent twenty years as an orphan, only to discover his true name is a death sentence. After being framed for the attempted murder of the grandfather he only just met, Luke is forced to flee New Orleans with nothing but a carpetbag and a prayer for a place to call home. He’s no killer, but with a $5,000 bounty on his head and ruthless men at his heels, he knows that in the eyes of the law, he’s already a dead man walking.

Penny Reed is done with heartbreaks. As the last unmarried sister at Sunrays Ranch, Penny has dedicated her life to rescuing the broken and the mistreated. When a mysterious, soft-spoken stranger with “sad eyes” arrives seeking work, she sees more than just a ranch hand.

She sees a soul in need of sanctuary.

But the connection between them is as dangerous as it is instant.

When the shadows of Luke’s past finally darken the gates of the ranch, Penny is forced to make a choice. Hand over the man she loves to the hangman’s noose, or risk her family’s legacy to protect a fugitive.

In a world where heritage can be a trap and love is a gamble, Luke and Penny must stand against a tide of injustice. Can the sanctuary of the Lord and the power of a woman’s devotion be enough to turn a wanted man into a free one?
