Her fragile beauty was a dazzling as the western landscape. Her eyes mirrored the brilliant blue of the cloudless sky; her hair shone with the gold of the sun and the silver of the moon. From miner to gold rush millionaire, the men of Virginia City, Nevada, scrambled for just a smile from the lovely Chastity Morrow.
No one was closer to Chastity than her father's handsome business manager, Jonathon Stoneworth. He knew she could be cold and thoughtless, a child scarred by painful memories. He disdained the defiant girl who taunted him; he was captivated by the desirable, vulnerable woman.
But Chastity was obsessed with the one man she could not have completely. A man who would sacrifice her romantic innocence to his own desires and ruthless ambition. Chastity wanted to believe that surrendering her heart to him would bring the happiness she yearned for. Yet only the cruel hurt of shattered dreams would awaken Chastity to the real passion of a woman's love.
