It was love at first sight. When Wolf Hayward and Molly Donivan gazed into each other's eyes in a crowded train station during the Civil War, they knew they were meant to be - - and sealed their commitment with a passionate kiss. He promised to find her after the war - - until he realized she was the daughter of a Union general when he was a spy behind enemy lines. But he'll never forget her and Molly will pledge to wait for the man she only knows as "Benjamin."

Eight years later, Wolf - - now a Texas Ranger - - is chasing down some outlaws when he is struck down by a falling signpost - - and wakes up to see the beautiful woman he has never forgotten. Molly doesn't recognize him as the handsome soldier who swept her away so long ago, but she can't help being intrigued by his kindness and charm. And she can't help imagining what it's like to be in his arms after the sun goes down . . . .
