Ryan — Vanessa Devereaux

Gracie Atkinson and her father planned a new beginning out West but when the coach they're traveling on loses a wheel causing it to roll down into a ravine, she soon learns her father is dead and that she's the sole survivor of the tragedy. Her only hope is to walk to the nearest town.

Ryan Doyle's a man with a past but he's now the sheriff of Grantsville. One night while riding his horse into the nearby canyon he finds a young woman clinging to life. He knows one place where she can recuperate. Maggie McGuire runs the town's whorehouse but Ryan knows Gracie will be save in her care.

The plan is simple but what he doesn't count on is falling for Gracie. There's one problem -- he's too old for her and he was committed a terrible act.

Gracie has her heart set on the sheriff and with the help of Maggie and her girls she'll find a way to get him to rethink his old fashioned ideas.
