The Beholding — Dia Hunter

LONELY HEART
Tess Harpers should have hated Luke Reeves. He entered her life with the news that her husband was dead -- and he was the one who'd killed him. But despite the bounty hunter's cold expression and scarred face, despite his quick draw that made men fear him, the young widow hoped against all hope that this was the man who might lead her out of her lonely life and make her forget her checkered past.

TROUBLED SOUL
Her accusers said she lured fools to their undoing, but Luke saw something in her emerald eyes that belied the rumors. Her beauty was stunning, to be sure, and her merest glance made him want to possess her. But somewhere on the trail to her new life and the truth about her husband, he discovered that Tess had the ability to heal the wounds of his soul. And he realized only when he learned to trust his heart could he behold the extraordinary power of their love.
