Boone Keller has spent years riding from one town to the next, never staying long enough for anyone to ask too many questions. With a gun at his side and a past he cannot outrun, he knows better than to believe a peaceful life was ever meant for him. Then he arrives in Widow's Creek and meets Alexis Kane. Strong-willed, kindhearted, and unafraid to speak her mind, Alexis sees something in Boone that others have missed.
But when Luke Harrow and his men threaten the town-and turn their attention toward Alexis's home-Boone must decide whether to keep riding or stand his ground for the woman who has given him a reason to stay. The Outlaw's Tender Heart is a Western romance about courage, redemption, and the healing power of love.
