Under the Desert Sky — Sara Luck

Fans will love this story of a widowed frontierswoman and the ranch hand who might be all that stands between her and ruin.

Phoebe Sloan isn't afraid of hard work -- she couldn't have survived on the Arizona frontier if she were. But ever since her husband was killed in a ranch accident, she's struggled to make ends meet and preserve her young son's birthright. Her last gamble was to start raising ostriches -- the plumes are prized by fashionable city ladies -- and it could work, but someone's determined to sabotage her efforts.

Enter Christian de Wet, a South African importer who finds himself drawn to the fragile but determined Phoebe. He begins helping her around the ranch as a kindness, but the two quickly find that the heat rising between them has nothing to do with the Arizona desert! When the saboteur finds a way to endanger not just the ranch, but Phoebe's family, will she have to forsake her happiness to save her son?
