Falling for Her Protector
After a stagecoach robbery nearly kills her and the small boy she’s traveling with, Emily Smith can’t remember who she is or where she’s going. Lost and with only wisps of her memory, she must rely on the handsome, dark-eyed sheriff who saved her.
Jesse Hill protects his heart as fiercely as he protects the small Montana town of Bella Creek. How did Emily’s kindness and beauty get past his armor? But Jesse knows well his own tainted past—one that means he could never marry a woman like Emily...even if her love could prove his redemption.
LINDA FORD lives on a ranch in Alberta, Canada, near enough to the Rocky Mountains that she can enjoy them on a daily basis. She and her husband raised fourteen children—four homemade, ten adopted. She currently shares her home and life with her husband, a grown son, a live-in paraplegic client and a continual (and welcome) stream of kids, kids-in-law, grandkids and assorted friends and relatives.

“Jesse, promise me you will never do that again...”
Jesse cupped Emily’s shoulder. “Do what?”
“Face down three men.”
“Emily, I can’t promise you that. It’s my job.”
“To die protecting others?”
He nodded.
“So you can prove you’re a good man?”
Her words cut him. “I vowed to honor the law and protect my fellow man, and I intend to live up to my vow.”
He heard the hard tone of his voice but couldn’t help it. Seemed she wasn’t all that different than the other young ladies he’d tried to court who either hated his profession or, even more strongly, hated his background. What had made him think she might be? Only his misguided dreams.
Not that he was courting her or had even considered it.
After all, who courted a woman who didn’t know who she was?
Jesse has been in every one of the Big Sky Country books previous to this, so it was necessary to give him his own story. I have never before written an amnesia story and found it both a challenge and a pleasure. I hope the lessons both Jesse and Emily learned about dealing with their pasts and their futures will help you find the same assurance of God’s love and care.
