A Colorado banker spars with a local schoolteacher in a rivalry that leads to love in this Western historical romance.
Colorado, 1884. Widower Brandon Calhoun is the most powerful man in Dutchman's Creek, but he's far from the happiest. Raising his daughter alone is hard enough without an amorous young man making secret advances. And it doesn't help that the boy's older sister and guardian is the town's disarmingly attractive schoolteacher.
Harriet Smith has been teaching in Dutchman's Creek for less than a year, but she already knows Brandon's no-nonsense reputation. The ruggedly handsome banker wants more for his daughter than this frontier town has to offer. But he's about to learn that love is closer to home than he ever imagined . . .
