Can this battle-scarred cowboy find redemption in her arms? Rory Sullivan has always grown up in her sisters’ shadows. But this summer, she's determined to make some changes. Rekindling her teenage friendship with Pyrite Falls’s prodigal son, Gideon Payne, feels like a good start. She can instantly see he’s in pain, but she’s sick of being afraid of life and she refuses to be intimidated by him. But is she brave enough to act on her attraction to Gideon's raw physicality?

An Honorable Life is the life of a person having personal integrity. He is one who has strong moral and ethical principles. He is guided by, or with a reputation of living by those strong principles.
