But can she trust him? Someone is trying steal her land. Luke vows to discover who is tearing down her fences-and manages to put himself directly in harm's way. Bushwhacked, tortured, and left for dead by the ruthless gang of outlaws, he struggles back to the farm-only to find it has been burned down. Time is short, and Luke has a decision to make. He'll do anything to protect Martha, the woman he's come to love...the woman with EYES LIKE THE SEA...
