April Williamson's heart calls her across the frontier, but only one man-a handsome army scout with a tormented past-can get her safely to freedom. Daniel McKenzie was an army scout-quiet, capable, handsome...and utterly unwilling to be the trail guide April Williamson needed to reach Kentucky. The Indian attack at Blue Licks was but one bitter taste of the American frontier, a massacre that had taken her father just as cholera had taken her mother. But April would not give up on her dream. At journey's end was independence, and nothing would stand in her way. The young widow was beautiful and determined, but the months of travel involved in her plan would be too hard. Without the general's order Dan would have told any woman no, but April especially. His secret would destroy her-or she might destroy him. April's kiss was like the country itself. Restless and sweet, it promised a love that denied every boundary and looked only to freedom and the future.

To protect her sister, Juliette Lawson stole documents and fled west. Now Wes Westmoreland, undercover lawman, threatens both her plan and her heart. Socialite Juliette Lawson fled west from Philadelphia on a train and in disguise. In Colorado she'd be safe; she'd take work with her uncle at the Rio d'Oro, his smelting operation. Her actions back east had been wrong, but to protect her pregnant sister from scandal she would have done anything. Then she met a man as hungry for answers as she was for independence. A handsome, honorable man. For him, she wished the truth was hers to tell. From the first, Wes Westmoreland knew he couldn't trust her. Having grown up in the saloons and brothels of San Francisco, he saw trust, like love, as a luxury an undercover lawman couldn't afford. Not on a job like this one, not with gold involved. This woman dressed as a widow was clearly hiding something; he'd felt it the moment they touched. But he'd felt other things too, stirrings in his heart, and for the first time ever, he saw riches worth the peril.
