The Story
Twice, the independent, pretty little sheriff and noted marksman, Jane McKee, has fallen for the wrong man, only to suffer the pains of unrequited love. And then a handsome, well-to-do stranger, Kane Braxton, rides in to town. He knows a good thing when he sees it, and right off showers Jane with his attention. Kane has arrived just in time, not just for Jane but for Whispering Bluff as he puts his wealth and business acumen to good use in helping the community begin to rebuild after a series of mysterious fires that have destroyed the church.
In the meantime Jane’s childhood friend and soul mate, Isaac August has returned to Whispering Bluff. Concerned with the speed of the growing relationship between Jane and this newcomer, and determined to make sure her wounded heart is never broken again, Isaac is skeptical of Kane’s motives. And he won’t back off until he’s sure Kane Braxton is who he seems to be, and the right man for Jane.
