Amelia Harrington has known nothing but abuse from her rich and powerful father. Her last beating leaves her with the knowledge that if she stays - he'll kill her. She flees, not knowing how she'll survive. Raised as a pretend princess, she doesn't even know how to wash dishes. Determined to live a life free of pain, fortune leads her to a job serving at a train station in Colorado. What she finds is cruel jealousy, the first friends she's ever had, and a place she feels she finally belongs.
Town banker Branson McKane grew up in a wealthy, powerful, loving family, but it wasn't until he came to a small growing community in Colorado he found where he wanted to be. Still, something was missing, then she falls into his arms - literally. His heart is caught by the dainty nymph with entrancing green eyes that flash with fear or spark with delight.
Can Amelia truly trust him so they can have a future together, or will her past return to snatch their happiness away?
