After the death of her sister, Molly McFarlane took her young niece and nephew and fled Georgia. With her brother-in-law searching for them, Molly and the children board a train heading west. A deadly train accident leaves them stranded in El Paso with no money. Molly learns that the railroad will pay a widow's fee to the wife of any man who was killed in the accident. When Molly learns that Hank Wilkins is not expected to survive from his injuries, Molly passes herself off as his wife, hoping to claim the money. But being a nurse, she can't just sit there and let him die. Molly works night and day to save Hank's life. But what will she tell him if he survives?

The second book in Kaki Warner's Blood Rose Trilogy is even better than the first. Hank is the quiet brother who doesn't have much to say. When he wakes up, he doesn't remember the accident and is worried because he also doesn't remember Molly or their wedding. But when he takes Molly and the children back to the Wilkins ranch to live with him and his family, he decides to make new memories of their life together.

Molly and Hank were perfect together. The author gave us two well drawn characters and made us believe that they were falling in love. I highly recommend this series. My rating: 5 Stars.
