My Wild Rose — Deborah Camp

A former saloon singer turned Temperance activist, lovely Regina "Wild Irish" Rose has come to Eureka Springs, Arkansas -- where her hatchet-wielding mentor, Carry Nation, is on trial for destroying a local tavern. The prosecuting attorney is Theodore Dane -- a formidable foe whose rakish grin and sparkling bedroom eyes have swayed many a jury -- and, worse still, sear Regina's staid and sober heart to sacrifice her independence for a womanizing rogue. Regina's steadfast resistance is shaken by the handsome lawyer's winning charm and a gentleness he hides from others -- forcing the dedicated, blond-haired beauty to choose between her most cherished principles and the sweet, undeniably ecstasy of Theo's sensuous, loving touch.
