I own this book in print and am so happy to see it's available now in digital as well. I've read it over and over.Mariah is new to frontier life, having just arrived on a steamboat, and the first thing she sees his a man gunned down right before her eyes. To her shock and dismay, the bounty hunter who shot the other man is the very person who is supposed to escort her to her fiance.Creed is a rough-around-the-edges outdoorsman who goes to pick up his best friend's fiance, Mariah. It's up to him to lead her through the treacherous frontier to Virginia City. But as they face the dangerous wild land of Montana, their growing attraction for one another becomes impossible to deny.This is the sort of emotional conflict and angst that I love when I read romance. The scenes with Mariah and Creed in the wilderness are so vivid and romantic and you feel a palpable ache in your heart when they try to fight their growing feelings for each other. The romance builds in a believable way and the characters are sympathetic throughout. There's also plenty of action and adventure to keep you turning the pages from start to finish.Highly recommend this for lovers of westerns, historicals, adventure tales and rip-your-heart-out romances.
