A Resurrected Heart — Zina Abbott

Gold miners are pouring into Lundy, California for the Resurrection Day celebration. Val Caldwell drives a herd of cattle up from Big Meadows to Lundy -- and he can't wait to see Beth Dodd, the woman he hopes to marry.

Beth unexpectedly finds she must convince the new miners that, though she is a widow, she expects to be treated with respect -- and she holds her own amongst the roughest of the bunch with the help of her derringer and her pa's hunting knife.

A woman of many talents, Beth receives a frantic request from the madam at the Blue Feather to help with the birth of a prostitute's baby -- an experience that calls up emotions from her own past, and reveals her own heart's desire -- something she's tried to forget.

Val, anxious to convince Beth to marry him, is willing to help her any way he can. But, just how much will the independent woman be able to give of herself after the pain of her first marriage? Can Beth ever trust him enough to give him the love of A RESURRECTED HEART?
