From the author of The Lost Girl: two sisters vie for love on the Wyoming frontier in a romantic tale as sweeping and grand as the Old West.

On the rough Wyoming frontier, Rose McKinley and Will Hyde have been sweethearts since childhood. Rose has always assumed that one day they will wed, and since a marriage would mean the merging of two successful ranches, their families certainly have no objections . . . except for Rose's sister, Cora.

At seventeen, Cora is sick of being treated like a child who doesn't understand "womanly feelings." She has plenty of womanly feelings—and she has them for Will. But her sister does not give up her possessions willingly.

So, when the mysterious and handsome Nate Galloway comes to town and turns Rose's head, Cora sees an opportunity to finally get what she wants. Will Rose play into her sister's plot, or has her heart already been won?
