A determined nurse resolves to bring a surly sheriff back to life, no matter how much he grumbles—or how attractive she finds him…

Mary Margaret McCallahan is proud of her career as a nurse. It wasn’t easy for a girl from the slums to transform herself into someone respectable. Mae loves every aspect of her job save one—dealing with the handsome, gruff sheriff in her care.

Sheriff Joaquin Obregon sees no reason to change his short-tempered ways. After all, an outlaw’s bullet tore his livelihood away—he has nothing to be happy about. But his stubborn nurse won’t take no for an answer… and surprisingly, Joaquin finds himself wanting to say yes to her.

Joaquin can’t imagine reclaiming his life. Mae is determined he must. The battle lines are drawn—and only love can win.
