description: A LOVE THAT ENDURES ALL HARDSHIP IS A LOVE TO TREASURE FOREVER...
  
  LAURIE: She cherished the little girl she was hired to care for. But her gruff employer was a hardened cattleman through and through.
  
  GABE: He loved his daughter, Ammie, but he never knew how to show his tender feelings. Until Laurie entered their lives...
  
  They had more in common than they knew, for both had loved and lost. When Laurie came to Oregon for her new post, she never dreamed she could feel desire again. Or that the threesome would come to feel like a family. Or how quickly their bond of love could be shaken...
