Will Caulder has other ideas. A wealthy southern landowner before the Civil War, Will has made his way west to find a home. In a card game he wins the deed to a farm and thinks he's made his fortune. But Will's luck sours when he finds the farm occupied---by the beautiful and defiant April Wilde.
As April and Will prepare to battle for the land, something more profound stirs in their hearts. Can April prevail in keeping hers safely locked? Or will a southern rogue convince her he's worthy of her love?
