With a young son who cries more than he smiles, a house in a frontier town plagued by violence, a job that all but guarantees heartache, and a death certificate for his first wife, Sheriff Aaron Hotchner cannot imagine anyone wanting to marry him. But at the urging of his few friends and family, he places an advertisement in a national paper seeking a woman of fortitude who can love his boy and tolerate his temperament.

But when an advertisement in the paper catches her eye, she cannot stop wondering what life would be like on the frontier with the widower and his son. Updates on alternating Sundays at 5 pm EST
