Desire came like a wildfire to the Colorado hills...to claim a woman's property...and her heart.
For five years after her father died, lithe, beautiful Dee Swann held on to Angel Creek valley and her independence. The homestead was hers, and she vowed no one else would ever own it...or her. Then Lucas Cochran came back to Colorado. In the drought-cursed high country, he needed Angel Creek and its cool water to turn his Double C ranch into the cattle dynasty he craved. His ruthless ambition guaranteed he would fight to take it away from the black-haired, green-eyed spitfire who claimed it.
But the passion that blazed when Dee Swann and Lucas Cochran met shocked them both. Unbidden, unexpected, their kisses swept them toward a dangerous destiny where dreams might be scattered...men could be killed...or love would be born as wild and unfettered as this glorious frontier.

Linda Howard is my favorite author. this book is one of her "Wild West" books. While I like her contemporary stories better, this one is still worth the read.

One of Linda Howard's best love story about how Dee Swann holds onto Angel Creek even knowing that it stood between her and the man she loves, Lucas Cochran, who desperately needs the water from her homestead for his cattle. Their passion and trust will be tested before their love could be claimed. I really enjoyed this wonderful story.
