"After a disastrous marriage, widow Mandy McClellen Gray is doing just fine in her remote mountain home. She's got her three children to keep her company and gold in the bank to keep her solvent. The last thing she needs right now is a cantankerous cowboy encroaching on her life. Rancher Tom Linscott is as tough and cranky as his unruly stallion. When he finds outlaws have trapped Mandy on her mountain, he's determined to rescue her, whether she wants to be saved or not. Only problem is, Mandy's trouble follows her. When he brings her to his home--against her will--outlaws trail them right to his door. When the feuding family expands their vengeful plans to include Tom, his need to protect his woman puts him right in the line of fire."--P. [4] of cover.
