Title: The rekindled flame
Description: After being left at the altar, then becoming engaged to the notorious outlaw Rasmus Pierce, Marian Ames is happy to come to Minneapolis where no one knows her scandalous history.

Losing herself in exciting work with needy children at a local mission, Marian finds herself drawn to fellow worker Everett Star, a widower whose embittered spirit brightens only in the presence of his daughter. Yet what is it in Everett's past that makes him fear Marian? And what tragedy has left his little daughter so withdrawn?

As Rasmus Pierce's trial begins, Marian and Everett come to a crossroads. Can they rekindle the flame of their love for each other—and God—despite the swirling winds of shame?
