Sweet Amity's Fire — Lee Scofield

Captain Thaddeus Whitlock was a man of steel forged in the Civil War with only one ambition--to make the Flying W the best ranch in Colorado. Miss Amity Lowell was a city girl from a Virginia orphanage, a mail-order bride eager to please--but not about to be turned back by Thaddeus after his brother changed his mind about the marriage contract. The sparks between them flew as Amity stood her ground. Thaddeus decided he'd marry this woman himself and make her the perfect western wife.

But Thaddeus had yet to learn the ways of courtship, and Amity refused to be just a bedtime wife. She longed for love. Theirs was a long trail of pride, tears and passion before their hearts would beat together and their senses could claim a glorious, tumultuous freedom.
