Honor requires Stanley to return once more to the life he has grown to despise, one he knows will destroy him in the end, even as his heart beckons him to stay with Marjie, the only woman he could ever love, and the promise, at last, of redemption.In this tame but pleasant historical western from Eden (loosely following The Sheriffs of Savage Wells), a mail-order marriage gone wrong becomes the salvation of both parties.

Despite his feelings for her, Stanley believes Marjie deserves a man whose hands are not stained with the violence of battlefields and whose mind and heart are not haunted by the horrors he has seen. But his scars run far deeper than anyone realizes. Combining her obsession with history and her affinity for tender love stories, she loves crafting deep characters and heartfelt romances set against rich historical backdrops. In the wake of Stanley’s blatant disinterest in renewing their acquaintance, Marjie’s devastation turns to determination as she vows to help him find peace. Eden is the USA Today bestselling author of many well-received historical romances. Marjie’s joy, however, is quickly shadowed by confusion-the aloof, battle-worn soldier before her is not the man he once was. Read an excerpt of this book Add to Wishlist.

From the moment they met, Marjie’s heart has belonged to handsome Captain Stanley Jonquil, younger brother of the Earl of Lampton.
