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.
This was a wonderful book. Just couldn't put it down. You've got to read it.
I loved it. I've been reading nothing but Catherine Anderson for a few weeks now and this one is right up there with the good ones.
This book was wonderful. I received it one day and stayed up late the next to finish it.

From 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 adn 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.
