The Touch of Sage

Following the death of her parents, Sage Willows had lovingly nurtured her younger sisters through childhood. She'd seen each one married, and was glad they were settled and happy. Sage had never resented not having the time to find a good man of her own to settle down with, but regret is far more haunting then resentment. Sage found a measure of joy as the proprietress of Willow's Boarding House and in the companionship of the four beloved widow-women boarding there. But when devilishly handsome Rebel Lee Mitchell came into her life, Sage couldn't help but hold out some hope for a future as happy as that of her sisters. Dark, mysterious and secretly wounded, Reb Mitchell utterly captured Sage's lonely heart. To Sage Willows, the powerfully attractive cowboy, admired and coveted by every female around, seemed entirely out of her league.
