Love’s Bright Torch — Dorothea J. Snow

Vicki Stewart's head told her to forget brash, overbearing Steve Mowrie. After all, he's left town without explanation years ago, when they were practically engaged. And now the aggressive young realtor expected to date her again, as if he had never deserted her. Worse yet, Vicki sensed Steven's true interest was not her but in some land her family owned. So, if she had any brains at all, she would dump him and set her sights on someone like elusive Alex Chester, who was thoughtful, subtle, polite -- everything Steve was not. But when it came to love, Vicki's head and heart were at war, and peace was as unreachable as the right man -- if he even existed!
