description: IN A WORLD WHERE MEN MADE THE RULES, SHE FOUGHT TO LIVE LIFE ON HER OWN TERMS
  
  Mattie McAlister was a woman to be reckoned with, and most folks were unforgiving of her tragic past. When she walked into a room, even the toughest of cowboys gave her a wide berth. Mattie desired only to be left in peace so she could raise her half-breed son properly. Then one day, Gordon Halpern barged into her world, bringing challenge, confusion and an offer she couldn't refuse.
  
  Gordon needed Mattie more than she needed him -- or so she believed at first. Yet as they joined forces to track a legendary villain across the harsh frontier, Gordon evoked a passion in her she had never dreamed possible. She longed to open her heart to him, but could she trust the promise of his kiss?
