The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Tempest and Make Me Love You brings her “mastery of historical romance” (Entertainment Weekly) to the wild gold-fields of 1880s Montana in a frontier love story about an American heiress who turns to a rugged mountain man to help recover her father’s fortune.

After a whirlwind debut in London society, Violet Mitchell is summoned back to Philadelphia only to find her family teetering on the brink of ruin while their father chases new wealth in Montana’s gold rush territory. With the family home and social standing at risk, Violet makes a bold decision.

Meanwhile, Montana rancher Morgan Callahan left his family’s cattle operation to strike out on his own—and now, having just uncovered a mother lode of silver, he is confronted by a young woman claiming to be his late partner’s daughter and demanding passage to her father’s mine. Suspecting she is working for the mining outfit gunning for his land, he has no problem kidnapping her and holding her at his camp where she can’t interfere.

But he underestimated Violet. Determined to claim what she believes rightfully belongs to her family, she summons the grit and courage needed to face the hazards of an untamed land—and the disturbingly masculine stranger who holds her fate in his hands. When one misstep opens the door to danger, their bond deepens—and she may discover the man she resisted is the one she truly desires. With her signature strong characters, humor, interesting plots—and of course romance—the author crafts another irresistible and adventurous story of love on the frontier.
