Welcome to Summerville, Colorado.
Maddie Catalan holds all the spunk of a true Old Western gal. Parker Leeds, horseman extraordinaire, is the only male to keep up with her. A romantic future for the pair is possible, until she hooks onto bad boy Romney Barnes. Maddie loses herself in his rough handling. Even after he hops on a locomotive to Boston the day after she loses her virginity, she has visions of becoming his bride. His visions definitely do not include her, however. Maddie moves to her aunt's town to teach. She soon discovers that Rom was already engaged to another. Sensuous Trina kisses Maddie's boo-boos (and a whole lot more), helping her heart heal. Yet Maddie is bent on vengeance. An angry Rom shows up months later--big mistake. Violence erupts. Maddie is left scarred and broken. Will Parker seek Maddie again? Or will she hide, never to be found? Note: This book contains excessive violence and sexual assault of the heroine.
