Playboy saloon owner Boyd Grayson is intrigued by Claire Ashier, and considers her temperance crusade to shut down his noisy tavern nothing more than a game.  While matching wits with the beautiful, aloof widow, he uncovers her torturous secrets.  Boyd never expected that the love of one abused woman would affect him so deeply and force him to face his own painful wounds. © WendyLindstrom2011
