About this ebook

The USA Today–bestselling author “has a real flair for writing romantic tension and sexy love scenes” in this sequel to Never Love a Lawman (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Her Heart Was Locked Away

Rhyne Abbot is fierce, brave, and used to a life of isolation on her father’s spread on the outskirts of Reidsville, Colorado. But when, overcome with sickness, she collapses, she knows she must return to town if she is to have any hope of recovery. Only there is no place for her but the new doctor’s home, and he wants more than just to heal Rhyne. He wants her hand in marriage.

 Until One Man Found the Key

Doctor Cole Monroe’s hands are already more than full with his orphaned little sister to look after, and yet somehow he can’t resist the magnetic pull of Rhyne’s bewitching eyes—or her tempting kiss. But convincing her to trust him won’t be easy. For Rhyne’s heart needs as much tender care as her ailing body. And the only cure is the thing she most fears: to let herself fall in love . . . 

“Delightful and romantic with enough intrigue and character building to be fun read.” —Fresh Fiction

Ratings and reviews

A very good read. Ms Goodman truly has a way with words.....especially when she described how Cole attended to Rhyne when they first met. He was such a good man and so gentle with the broken girl. I loved how their love grew and am so glad justice was served in the end.
