WHEN THE LAW SAYS NO, CAN LOVE AND FAITH FIND A WAY? Sheriff Carl Rainer is running out of chances. After missing a rustling ring operating in plain sight, he's determined to restore the town's trust, even if it means making an arrest that could cost him his badge. The last thing he needs is distraction…especially in the form of a courageous, headstrong woman who challenges him at every turn. Esther Greening has spent her life caring for the vulnerable, and stepping in as the temporary schoolteacher is just one more way to serve. But when a threat falls on a girl she once protected, Esther refuses to stay safely on the sidelines—no matter what the sheriff demands. Their growing connection is undeniable…yet impossible. The law bars a white man from marrying a black woman, and the town's prejudice is as dangerous as any outlaw. When a vengeful rustler kidnaps Esther, Carl must risk his future—and perhaps the town's approval—to save the woman he's come to love. As danger closes in, can Carl and Esther trust God for the courage to fight for justice, stand against prejudice, and believe that love is worth every cost?
