a former long-distance trucker who gives up the open road to start a sheep ranch. But a tragic miscarriage of justice leaves him isolated from his neighbors until one of his ewes devours a lovely artist's flower garden. Can these two lonely people learn to trust the yearnings of their hearts?
From the back cover: "Esther Jackson needed Craig Nighthawk's protection. The father she'd helped put away for murder was now seking her out, so against her reclusive nature, she welcomed the darkly handsome Nighthawk into her home, hoping he could keep her safe.
Craig knew all about fear and isolation. After all, he was still being tried and convicted by the people of Conard County for a crime he hadn't committed. All he wanted was to be left alone. Until he met Esther, and discovered in her loving arms a peace he would safeguard at any cost..."

A good story. We have Craig, an Indian, convicted of a crime he didn't commit and released although some people don't forget, and Esther, abused by her father as a child and seriously harmed by one of his drunken attacks, couldn't help her mom when her dad beat her to death. Now she thinks she's safe from him where she lives but he gets out of prison and finds her. Craig is her next door neighbor who has sworn off marriage and owns a sheep farm. They meet and he helps her overcome her fear of her father. She stands up for him in town. Its a good story.
