Reed Wilder journeyed to Far Enough, Texas, in search of a fallen woman. Instead he found an angel. Barely reaching five-foot two inches, the petite firebrand helped defend him against two ruffians and then treated his wounds with a gentleness that made him long to uncover all of her secrets. But she had only to reveal her name and he knew his lovely rescuer was not an innocent woman, but the deceitful opportunist who had preyed on his brother.

Reed prided himself on his logic and control, but both deserted him when he gazed into Lucy's warm and beautiful eyes. He had only one option: to discover the truth behind those enticing lips he longed to sample. For how could the tainted woman he sought be the rose-scented angel he'd discovered? And soon, holding Lucy in his arms, he knew he'd come far enough to realize true love when he found it, far enough to know...WHAT MATTERS MOST.
