Dear Reader,

In my mind this story began with a man suffering from an injured leg and needing care. At first I had the heroine stumble into his life while seeking shelter and a place to rest for her sick companion. But that version simply did not want to be written. Which left me with the lingering thought of an injured cowboy. I struggled a long time trying to work out how to injure him and how that injury would involve the heroine. In the end, I simply had Jayne shoot Seth. It seemed the only way to get this pair together. I hope my solution worked for you, the reader. I loved dealing with how a big, independent cowboy would deal with his injuries and how an uncertain, yet courageous lady from a pampered background would help him.

I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I love to hear from my readers. You can contact me at www.lindaford.org where you can also see what’s coming next for the Cowboys of Eden Valley.
