A child of the West Virginia mountains, Lilibet Springer dreamed of being more than a coal miner’s daughter. She would go to law school and carve a better future for her family and the land that had nurtured her. There was no place in her careful plans for Black Bradya’s wild as the mountains he loved, iron-willed, and ambitious - or for Sam Adkins, who wanted only to protect her. Cledith Hutton, the son of the richest man in town, blessed with golden good looks and a shining future, was the man of her dreams. But only one of these men had destiny on his side.
Her hard-fought battles won, Lilibet found too late that her heart had hungers of its own and that a girls first love could become a woman’s dangerous passion. And in a swirling drama of wealth, power, politics, and divided loyalties, Lilibet was forced to choose between her marriage vows and the promise of fiery fulfillment beyond her most seductive dreams.
