Washington Territory, 1871 Kate Flanders is set on marrying Cole Turner and saving him from the gun-toting life he’s been leading. Kate’s loved Cole since they were children, growing up in very different families. Now that he’s back in Three Bridges, this may be her last chance to make him hers and she’s got a plan.
Cole Turner is many things, most of them bad, but he’s not about to take advantage of the one person in his life who actually saw some good in him. Kate’s fantasy about marrying him is just that, a fantasy. Not that he doesn’t want her, he does. But he’s not about to ruin her life, because that’s what being married to him would do.
One determined female, one stubborn cowboy...anything can happen.

A well-written piece. The characters were likeable and the chemistry between them beautifully depicted. There were some great action scenes and many political and ethical issues of the time (1871), such as the fight for women's rights and marital abuse.
I would've liked it if it was longer though! A bit more detail would've gone well with this book, although the author does a fantastic job with the amount of pages she had.
The plotline was a tad bit too cliche for me, but this story is a really good and fast read if you're looking for a bit of suspense, a bit of farming, and a whole lot of chemistry and action.
