Sinner and Saint
Martin, Prudence
Kaler O'Connell was an ex-con, a man Beth Rasmussen had been warned to avoid. But she hired him, dared to offer him a second chance even as gossip mushroomed in the small South Dakota town.

Beth had to admit that something more than compassion had compelled her to act. Kaler was an underdog--and a man she found hard to resist. She was his only friend--the woman he tried not to touch But their daily lunches, their growing bonds, had not been ignored. Soon they would have to make a choice between the passion they could no longer deny--and the town that would neither forgive nor forget.
