John McFarlan has a lot on his plate. The woman sat in his jail cell tried to kill his sister-in-law. Now her father is determined to set her free. John doesn’t have time for love… not until he sees the beautiful Francesca.
The minute he sets eyes on the beautiful woman he knows she is something special but when he finds out about her courage he is hopelessly in love.

Francesca is not looking for love, maybe a husband to care for her two children and to keep a room over their heads… but not love. Still she is drawn to the handsome sheriff who walks her home from work each night. Finding a man who does not see her as crippled, or as a burden because of her children is refreshing, and she wonders if it will go further.
Life in Hope Springs is turning out to be just the new start she needed until the past comes back to haunt this town.

When bullets fly, lives are destroyed, and things will never be the same again. Can a one-legged bride survive and find her happiness?
