US Marshal John “Hawk” Hawking is one of the most respected lawmen in the West, so when a telegram arrives from the small town of Sand Creek warning him of a death threat against him, he immediately begins an investigation. Only one person is trying to stop him—Liesl, the sheriff’s own daughter. When Liesl discovers John’s true identity, she feels betrayed. Liesl must put her life, and her heart, in the hands of his lawman if she has any hope of saving her family and her town.
