"After Prince Augustus Frederick reneges on his promise to marry her, Linnet Thrynne faces social ruin since everyone - based partly on her mother’s scandalous past and partly on Linnet’s ill-fated decision to wear a ball gown that gives the impression she is pregnant - now believes Linnet is a hussy of the first degree. Fortunately, Linnet’s aunt, Lady Etheridge, comes up with a solution. Rumor has it that Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, is in the market for a wife. The irascible nobleman’s only requirement is that his bride-to-be be a woman 'more beautiful than the sun and the moon,' a condition Linnet easily meets...

"When Jebediah Taylor, running from the ghosts of Appomattox, finds his valley, in the western mountains, he thinks he's found the place to heal his soul; but the greed, and lust for power, that fed that war, finds him, even there in those remote mountains, where he must fight to the death, for life and love. It's hard enough to carve a ranch out of the wilderness when you're alone. The task is ever harder, when you must do your building, carrying the ghosts of a long dead war. The burden gets unbearably heavy when you find yourself the last target of the most powerful megalomaniac in the territory. When you've been beaten, burned out, had your herd rustled, shot, and pursued across the high country, you end up in a pretty poor mood, and go hunting for revenge. The only thing that can save your soul, and keep you from sinking into the abyss, are the friends who find you along the way, and the unexpected, lusty, passion of the woman who heals your heart." - Amazon.
