She knew she could handle business in the untamed West, but could her heart endure love so far from home?

Carolina Cantrell is used to running her family's import business--and having to travel to keep it successful. So a hurried trip to the Montana Territory to settle her brother's estate is nothing out of the ordinary. Simply sell David's interest in his store, gather his personal belongings, and return home.

But God has different plans.

Struggling to do business so far from home in this untamed man's world challenges everything in Carolina's life--her business sense, her faith, her plans... and her heart. There are confrontations and tensions all around as rumors of gold spread throughout the territory. Carolina must even fight for the future of the town growing up around the store. But the greatest conflict is the one within her, fueled by an explosion of emotions that leaves both her and a particularly handsome, saddle-tough drifter wondering about their future together.
