The Waiting Heart — Jeanne Allan

Susan would not be bullied into love

Burke Gerard dominated everything and everyone on his Colorado ranch. He expected to dominate the young city schoolteacher who because of an accident spent two snowbound weeks in his wild territory. Susan, however, was strong-willed, too.

At first she detested this powerful, primitive man whose love seemed more like lust -- she scorned him and battled him. Then she came to understand him and his kind of love -- and yearn for it.

But, she wasn't the only one who wanted him. Tiffany, the girl next door, once engaged to Burke, was determined to have a second chance.
