This book I borrowed from Prime and I am really glad I did not buy it. The fact that this rancher (Jason) just happened to find two women and save their lives, marry them both with all their problems and have,the patience of a saint was just way to hard to swallow. Especially after his  first wife passed away from a fever after having their daughter. It now appears his wife Jade who can't speak because of the terrible things she saw and who was running away from Indians when Jason found her, while bringing his sister home to get his daughter so she can take her back home with her for the winter because Jason can't take care of the ranch and his daughter. Jason sees a lump in the snow which of course is Jade. He takes her home and both he and his sister of course come up with the same idea of a marriage of convenience. This way Jason can keep his daughter home and someone to take care of her and the home.  Never mind that Jade has nightmares and cannot speak one word, and he does not know her but, Jason name's her Jade because of her green eyes. This is her real name they find out later. They being his sister and family. Imagine all of this. Now they marry and they have their baby,but don't you know it she has a daughter and he has read all about this fever his first wife had and Jade of course has the fever and Jason saves her life. Now on top of this there is the sex that seems to be on their minds all the time, and I really got pretty sick of it. The reason being it could have been a much better book without it and when I read, I want the story I do not find  it at all appealing when they add sex it tells me that that thewriter really did not have much of a story to begin with. The language surprised me coming from this time frame, they do not use bad language and I am happy about that but, considering the years this takes place as far as I know they did not talk that way about sex maybe they thought about it but they did not talk about it. And on top of that I thought the plot was flimsy it really could have been written much better but after you get through the first few chapters it is all down hill.
