Description
Boston lawyer Reed Malloy is on a mission–deliver two orphans to one Charlotte Sanborn of Spring City, Colorado. He's not prepared for Charlotte's shocking refusal to raise her own kin, or for the fire her irresistible beauty and bold intelligence ignites within him.
With her chestnut hair and striking green eyes, Charlotte could be the catch of Spring City. Instead, she lives in solitude and wears her independence like a suit of armor. It will take some firsthand persuasion if Reed is to complete his legal duty and, perhaps, explore more tantalizing issues.
When Charlotte forsakes everything familiar in her life, traveling across the country with her two young charges to confront the children’s grandmother—and when 2,000 miles of America’s heartland no longer separate her from Reed—she is welcomed into the high society of the Boston Brahmins. But as scorned women emerge and sinister forces threaten, she finds herself dealing with unforeseen intrigue that could rip apart her tenuous bond with Reed.
