To save her West Texas home, a young widow must join forces with a violent desperado—and tame the wild passions he ignites within her: "A superb writer" ( RT Book Reviews). Ellie Langstrom has built a quiet, simple life on a ranch in Summer Valley, married to the love of her life: gentle, older Benjamin Jarrett. But that life is shattered when her barn burn to the ground and she finds Benjamin's bullet-riddled body on the back doorstep. Reeling from shock and grief, Ellie has no idea who would want to hurt him or why. So she telegraphs Benjamin's brother Carson, a Texas Ranger, for help. Two months later, a Jarrett brother finally arrives—only it's not Carson, but the blue-eyed gunfighter, Kale Jarrett. Ellie is terrified of guns and of the handsome gunslinger now living in her house. But she needs him . . . maybe in ways she doesn't want to admit. "The real treasure of Sweet Autumn Surrender is the love Ellie Jarrett has to give to Kale and his family." — The Book Shelf
