USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins continues her captivating Women Who Dare series with a female rancher who forges her own path in the wake of the Civil War… 

Banished by her grandfather at the age of eighteen, Spring Lee has survived scandal to claim her own little slice of Paradise, Wyoming. She’s proud of working her ranch alone and unwilling to share it with a stranger—especially one like Garrett McCray, who makes her second-guess her resolve to avoid men. 

Garrett escaped slavery years ago and is now a reporter in Washington. He’s traveled west to interview Dr. Colton Lee for an article, yet it’s Lee’s fearless sister, Spring, who captures his interest. Clad in denim and buckskins instead of dresses, she’s the most fascinating woman he’s ever met. And he’s certain she also feels the connection that sizzles between them. 

But when a shadow from Spring’s past returns, all is on the line: her ranch, her safety—and this wild, fierce love.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[A] remarkably likable hero, spirited heroine, beautiful horses, scenery, adventure, and romance…Excellent storytelling that keeps us coming back for more.” NPR
“Jenkins’s excellent storytelling skills, paired with fascinating American history, makes the narrative shine.” Library Journal (starred review)
“A refreshing and keenly innovative historical romance. Readers will be clamoring for more well-researched and inclusive love stories featuring strong women in the American West.” Booklist (starred review)
“This book has all the hallmarks of Jenkins’ fiction—meticulous historical research, a frank look at social conditions for Black people of the time, masterful pacing, and complex, likable characters…You shouldn’t miss it.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Jenkins has a sure touch with the racism of the era, not letting it derail the escapist romance but also not shying away from harsh realities. Jenkins once again proves why she’s a giant of the genre.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Staunton captures Spring’s fierce and hard-won independence, as well as her unwillingness to change anything about herself…Staunton portrays Garrett as a generally good-natured individual who strives to improve the world around him…Secondary characters are easily distinguishable and are generally depicted by Staunton as fully developed individuals.” AudioFile
