Levi Ramsey is the lawman of Kingman and is content in his daily routine until a young widow arrives at his ranch. He's drawn to her and is more than willing to help her, but he must follow his heart. Becoming only her chaperone isn't enough. As a bond develops between them, another tragedy threatens to drive them apart. Do Levi and Rachel have a future together?
