Summary
About the author
About the narrators

An impoverished young woman. A lonely father of five. Will they be able to resist when a cadre of optimistic children start matchmaking?

1910
I arrived in Emerson Pass Colorado with my entire life in one small suitcase.
Compared to Boston, life wouldn’t be easy in this tiny frontier town.
Everyone was counting on me.
My family…to provide for them back home.
The mayor…to teach all the children living here.
I was determined to make it work and succeed in the unruly West.
But things didn’t start off well.
A stray gunshot spooked the horses, and I ended up face-first in the snow.
Until rescue came in the strong, capable hands of a handsome stranger…
Widower and single father Lord Alexander Barnes.
English royalty.
Older.
Affluent.
Despite our easy rapport and my instant connection with his children any courtship was out of the question.
On top of our age difference, we were from different worlds and classes.
Yet the wild, untamed nature of this town kept thrusting us together.
Almost as if by fate.
Our chance at happiness was within reach.
Unless the realities of the unsettled mountain territory tear us apart…
