Shepherds Abiding in Dry Creek

A Home For The Holidays

That's what Marla Gossett sought when she moved to Dry Creek, Montana. She wanted a safe haven to raise her kids, far from the troubles of the past. Then an unusual theft cast suspicion on her family. . . and brought Deputy Sheriff Les Wilkerson into the struggling widow's life.

In Marla's young son, Les saw a lonely child in need of a guiding hand. In the plucky single mother, he saw a woman he could love. But a crisis threatened to destroy Marla's fragile trust. Unless the deputy could convince her that her family had a special place in the community. . . and in this bachelor's heart.
