Miriam McIntyre, aged twenty-four, has a first-class education, refined manners, stunning blue eyes, and her family name means something in Baltimore’s blue-blooded society. With that said, she was a miserable failure.
At a time when Miriam should have been tending to a husband’s needs and raising babies, she made the outrageous decision to travel across the vast United States to San Francisco. It was a daring move for a single woman of her class, but she had no choice.
In San Francisco there was promise and hope to give her a new start in life.
On the transcontinental railway, her plans are shattered by a train robbery and murder, and she finds herself abandoned at Debrot Ranch, south of Denver City. The owner, Hollis Debrot was a strikingly handsome man who would turn any woman’s head, but working in cattle dust creates a skin of grime and a body odor that could empty a room of parlor maids. Even worse, Hollis looked at Miriam with bold impertinence, as if she were a dance hall girl.
Complications extend her stay in the wilderness and as Miriam slowly becomes a part of the ranching family, a killer lurks nearby, love is betrayed, and Miriam and Hollis find their lives hopelessly entangled – in and out of bed.
Hollis wonders if Heaven has a place for a rough cow hand and a beautiful lady.
Miriam wonders if Heaven has a place for a lonely woman and a handsome rancher.
The answer awaits at White Feather Rock.
