This is a Harlequin-type romance-adventure with a very tall, very handsome man and a very beautiful young woman. As usual, the story contains misunderstandings, initial dislikes between the man and woman, strong erotic attractions that are not fully understood at first, and people who try to pull the two apart. Individuals who like these kinds of tales will enjoy this one.It is 1902 in Wyoming. Opal's father sent her away from Wyoming when she was very young. She couldn't then and can't now understand why her father did this to her. Is it because he doesn't love her? While living on the east coast, she becomes emotionally drawn to the children in an orphanage. She returned to Wyoming, despite her feelings about her father, because she heard that he discovered a gold mine and she hopes she can get money from him for the orphanage. If this fails, she is determined to marry a rich man who she doesn't love, but who agreed to help the orphanage children. She is picked up by Charlie, her father's handsome foreman, towards whom she has an immediate aversion. Charlie takes her back to her father's ranch, but on the way, they are attacked by three men on horseback who want to capture them and force them to show the cutthroats the gold mine location. At the ranch, Opal discovers that her father treats Charlie like a son. This bothers her greatly, but she is becoming more and more attracted to him. Readers will find out about the adventures the two have together, why Opal's father sent her back east, what happens to the robbers, and Charlie's interesting history.
