Heart of Shadow — Cynthia Woolf

Tough as nails rancher Abe Condon needs to produce children to inherit his property, so he sends for a mail-order bride. Love will not be part of the deal. He's had his share of heartbreak and harbors no illusions about his future wife; she will most likely be hiding from the law or a cold hearted...well.. just cold.Nothing prepares Abe for the beautiful vision in burgundy that steps off the train, or the pain he sees flickering in her eyes. She may not be cold, but she is definitely hiding something. She couldn't possibly be as sweet as she seems, and yet darned if his cowboy upbringing doesn't make him want to wrap her up and keep her safe. A contemporary woman of the twenty-first century, Maddie Porter is given a second chance; get out of Purgatory and earn her angel wings by answering a deserving man's Heart Wish. A wish from deep in his heart that he doesn't even know he has. In 1881, one look into this cowboy's emerald eyes and Maddie knows she is willing to risk everything to grant his Heart Wish and keep her cowboy safe, even lose her own soul to the angel hunters looking for her. She has just seven days...and nights...to show this man that love is a risk worth taking.
