Heart of the Hawk is set after the Civil War. Notorious gunslinger Joshua Hawk is about to hang. His only regret is not finding his grandfather's book with his family's history. However, a lie by the widow of the man he shot sets him free.
Kate Dixon freed from her brutal husband decides to run his shop. Reluctantly she finds herself attracted to Hawk but his reputation attracts dangerous men.
It seems as if some force has brought them together to complete a fate ordained long ago. Will their love stand a chance?

First, I hate paranormal in any form. Second, paranormal in a historical western? Please. I got this from a booklist of exceptionally good works of lesser-known authors. The only thing I can say about this book is that I was able to finish it.

Kate Dixon was living in hell in Gambler's Notch, Wyoming Territory. Her husband was a brute who used her horribly until one day when he went out to kill a stranger who had been nice to his wife. Instead, he was killed by The Hawk.

Josh Hawk soon realizes that he has put Mrs. Dixon into a bad situation; wholesalers refused to sell supplies to her. Josh offered to work for Mrs. Dixon for room and board. He went to the suppliers and convinced them to sell the supplies to Hawk.

This was an interesting story without the paranormal. It was slow and draggy at times. The main characters were flawed, which made them interesting. This is book two of 3 novels. I don't plan to read the other two.
