To err is human. To forgive, divine.

After her father’s bank is robbed and the thief injures her brother, she decides to hunt the man down and put him behind bars, which will help her become the Pinkerton agent she has always dreamed about. The people she has asked about the bank robber tell her the man has dark hair and green eyes and goes by the name of Hawk. When her travels take her to Longmont, Colorado, she finds an attractive man who fits that description. As she gets to know him, she hopes he isn’t the thief… but what does her gut tell her?
After Ash Hawk was released from being a prisoner in the mines of Tooele, Utah, he finds himself lost and alone. As a child, he was captured and brainwashed to believe his family was dead, and that God didn’t care. When he moved to Colorado as an adult, his life changed for the better. He was given a great job working on a ranch and doing the things he loved. Then a beautiful woman came to him, pleading for his help. How could he turn her down?
As a relationship develops between them, danger lurks in the distance. Can she trust him? But more importantly, will he understand when he finds out she has been lying all this time?
