Brightspun Destiny — Elizabeth Gregg

Charlotte "Charlie" Houston tried to do a man's job running the Double H ranch. Montana's Big Sky country challenged the toughest cowpuncher, and its hardships had caused the death of Charlie's dad. Charlie herself might be a woman alone, and no match for the raging frontier, but nobody human was going to steal her land. That included Mitch Fallon, the gunslinger hired by the biggest land grabber in Montana.

Fallon had cold eyes, a quick gunhand, and a heart set on vengeance. He also had a quality of raw manhood that set Charlie's blood on fire. And despite his hardness, she sensed his basic decency and fierce passion for justice. But Fallon and Charlie were on opposite sides in a deadly ranch war. He was a driven man being pushed to doing unforgivable things. She was a determined woman fighting for her life. Now they were being drawn together by need, desire, and a love that could be their downfall -- or their destiny.
