Amanda Wainwright is determined to keep the deathbed promise she made to her late husband and raise the quality of life for the miners that had made him so rich.  But the wealthy widow has no idea how much danger that promise will place her in amongst the other mine owners.

The secret service agent parading as a lumber mill owner knows.  Sam Calhoun has just agreed to seduce the widow and ruin her reputation so she’ll run from the town of Willow Creek. Sam needs to gain the mine owners trust in order to get to the bottom of some very bad business at Willow Creek and what better way than to agree to their scheme. Sam fancies himself a ladies man but he never bargained on a lady quite like the Widow Wainwright.

Amanda is very much her own woman and if she seems a bit worldlier than her convent education and sheltered life might afford, she is nonetheless an intriguing and smart woman to be reckoned with. And Sam is just the one to reckon with her. Watching these two spar and spark is one of the delights of this book.

Amusing, attention-grabbing and steamy, this book delivers.
