Sunlight and Shadows — Jill Henry

Ever since her husband, Richard, was killed, Nettie Picketing had been struggling to hold her life together. But when a vengeful neighbor brutally attacked Hank Callahan, the man responsible for Richard's death, she couldn't just let him die. What she didn't know when she rushed him to the doctor was that Hank was also the man who would ease her bitter loss by gently winning her heart.
Guilt-stricken after accidentally shooting an innocent man, Hank left town planning never to return again, until urgent family business called him back. He never counted on the injury that would force him to recuperate at the young widow's home, and he certainly never expected to care for her. Now, as his past returns to haunt him, Hank faces the toughest decision of his life -- leave and spare Nellie more pain, or stay and give their love a chance to grow.
