Publisher's Description
Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing,
Ruthy MacNeil isn't all that upset at being separated from the family
who raised her. All they've ever done is work her to the bone. She
prayed for a chance to get away, and then came the raging flood. Alive
but disoriented, she's rescued by Luke Stone...so unfortunately, there
are more chances to die in her immediate future.
Luke is heading
home to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men who killed
his father are working hard to ensure Luke doesn't make it alive. He
has no choice but to keep moving. Still, he can't just abandon Ruthy, so
she'll have to come along.
His friends--a ragtag group of former
Civil War soldiers--take a fast interest in the pretty gal. Luke thinks
that's rather rude--he's the one who found her. And the more time he
spends around the hard-working young woman who is a mighty good cook,
the more he finds himself thinking beyond revenge and toward a different
future. For the first time in a long time, Luke is tempted to turn from
his destructive path and be swept away by love.
