From the back cover…
The wealthy owner of a Colorado mining empire, Luke Taggart has seen and done it all. Now, bored with saloons, gambling and loose women, he feels a restless yearning-for what, he doesn’t know. Until he meets a woman as fresh and pure as a spring morning-and vows to possess her…at any cost.
Compassionate, radiant and breathtakingly lovely, Cassandra Zerek has a charming naivete’ that seems to blind her to Luke’s seductive schemes-and an unwavering belief in the magical ability of love to transform this frog masquerading as a prince into the man of her dreams.
Soon Cassie has aroused not only Luke’s desire, but his conscience-most unexpectedly-as well. But neither gold nor guile will make her his own. Only the most precious gift of all can win her: Luke’s deep and abiding love.
A beautiful story showing the innocent heroine & how love can change even the the wicked intentions of the one who grows to love her. A lot of good out loud laughs.
A GOOD BOOK, SET BACK IN THE LATE 1880'S. A VERY TOUCHING LOVE STORY. VERY STRONG FAMILY TIES.
