あらすじ
New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer returns to Wyoming with an unforgettable romance featuring one of the ruggedly handsome Kirk brothers Ranch owner Cane Kirk lost more than his arm in the war. He lost his way, battling his inner demons in the form of any cowboy unfortunate enough to get in his way. No one seems to be able to cool him down, except beautiful Bodie Mays. Bodie doesn't mind saving Cane from himself, even if he is a little too tempting for her own peace of mind. But soon Bodie's the one who finds herself in need of rescuing—only, she's afraid to tell Cane what's really going on. How can she trust someone as unpredictable as the fierce cowboy? When her silence only ends up getting her into even deeper hot water, it's up to Cane to save the day. And if he does it right, he won't be riding off into the sunset alone.

作品考察・見どころ
ダイアナ・パーマーが描く本作の真髄は、肉体と魂に深い傷を負った男の「再生」を、ワイオミングの峻烈な自然と重ね合わせた点にあります。主人公ケインが抱える孤独と怒りは、戦争で失った右腕以上の欠落感を象徴しており、読者は彼の荒ぶる魂が愛によって浄化されていく過程に、文学的なカタルシスを覚えるでしょう。単なるロマンスを超えた、人間の脆さと強さの相克がここにあります。 ヒロインのボディもまた、自身の秘密と脆弱さを抱え、ケインと共鳴し合う存在として鮮烈に描かれています。互いに不完全な二人が、疑念を乗り越え信頼を築く心の機微は、パーマー特有の緻密な心理描写により圧倒的な説得力を持って迫ります。荒野に吹く風のように激しく、それでいて慈愛に満ちたこの物語は、傷ついた魂が再び明日を信じるための希望を、読者の胸に深く刻み込んでくれるはずです。
