The Redemption of Jake Scully

Book excerpt: The Loner and the Lady Saloon owner Jake Scully knew his rough frontier town was no place for a delicate lady like Lacey Stewart. Once, he'd sheltered her from harm. Ten years later, Lacey was no longer a frightened girl, but a woman grown. She deserved a respectable man, not a jaded rogue like Jake. And Jake's "delicate lady" had a mind of her own—with ideas that included introducing Jake to a life of love and faith, no matter how hard he tried to keep his distance. But when danger began stalking her again, Jake realized the only safe place for Lacey was by his side.
