“This is it. Thank you, Mr. Dolan. Tell your wife I’d be happy to have her pay a visit one day soon.”
“Why? You didn’t get much of a welcome when you called on her.”
“How do you know?” Henry Ann replied testily. “As I recall, you weren’t even there.”
“I know my wife.”
Black hair flopped down on Dolan’s forehead and hung over his ears. The shadow of black whiskers on his face made him look somewhat sinister. His dark eyes soberly searched her face. If she could believe what she saw in his eyes it was loneliness … pain.
Jenny Gray wondered if she could survive a day in an isolated cabin near an Indian reservation—and she needed to stay five years to make the land hers. She had never chopped wood or cooked a biscuit in her life before she ran away from Pennsylvania with her two young sisters to teach school to the Shoshoni. She wasn’t like any other woman in Sweetwater, Wyoming Territory, and local rancher Trell McCall thought her as proud and beautiful as a princess, a lady who would never fall for a man with only livestock to his name. But when a crooked Indian Agent tries to drive her out, Jenny needs help. And when the untamed land begins to bestow its real riches—loyal, courageous friends and a rugged man ready to stand by her side—Jenny is ready to fight for their love.
