Description

From New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart comes a sweeping historical romance where love, loyalty, and legacy collide on the wild Idaho frontier.

Laurel Valley, Idaho, 1892

Elizabeth O'Hara has been married to the town sheriff for a year, but she still feels like a stranger to the man she's loved since girlhood. Cole is kind and patient—and maddeningly distant. They share a bed, a name, and a sprawling ranch, but Elizabeth wants more than a marriage of convenience. She wants a husband who sees her as something other than a promise he made to her dying father.

Cole O'Hara has spent his life running from his past. A war hero with a deadly reputation and a twin brother who chose a darker path, Cole thought he'd finally found peace in Laurel Valley. But when a vicious gang of outlaws begins cutting a bloody trail across the West, Cole realizes his past isn't done with him yet. The face on the wanted poster is one he knows all too well—because it's identical to his own.

As a brutal winter storm descends on Laurel Valley, trapping the town in a deadly siege, Cole and Elizabeth must fight for their lives—and for each other. With danger closing in from all sides, they'll discover that the greatest battles aren't always fought with guns and fists. Sometimes the hardest fight is learning to trust the person standing beside you.

This is where the O'Hara legacy begins—forged in snow and fire, bound by blood and honor, and sealed with a love that will echo through generations.
