Prosper, Colorado is the place and statehood looks like a sure-thing. It is the late 1800's and Lucas Cochran is returning home after a 10 year absence. His father has died, leaving the Double C to his son; the ranch is prosperous but Lucas plans to make it more so in the future.
In order to protect his growing empire, Lucas must secure another water source for his cattle. In years with plenty of rain, he's fine; but during an extended drought, his herds could run out of water. Planning to solve his problem with money, he travels to Angel Creek to buy the land from its owner. He's cocky and assured of his right to have whatever he can buy ? after all, everyone has his price.
Lucas is surprised to find a well-tended and prosperous farm with only one person on the land ? Dee Swann. Since her parents died, Dee has tended and worked the land (for 5 years) by herself. She considers herself independent and self-sufficient. She's not one bit interested in Lucas? offer and offers to show him how little she's interested with her shotgun. Lucas is shocked; Dee is just as hard-headed as he and she doesn't crater to his demands.
However, Lucas realizes she is in a difficult situation; she will be safe as long as everyone has water but when a drought comes, she will be alone against large ranchers demanding her water.
I really liked Dee; she stayed isolated so that no one would bother her or think she would sell. Any who had tried were swiftly dealt with via Dee's shotgun. However, Lucas didn't seem too concerned about Dee or her collection of guns.
This book spoke to me because each of these characters was adamant that their way was best and didn't plan to change. However, as they got to know each other (through lots of heated arguments), they grew to realize the strength and innate goodness of the other.
I was disappointed in the first sex scene; Lucas took what he wanted (that innate goodness took a vacation).
Of course, a drought comes and is causes an incredible amount of trouble and heartache. Lucas betrays Dee's trust in him ?for her own good.? When Dee doesn't come to her senses as he?d planned, Lucas starts to think about what he's done and realizes the severity of his error.

A little piece of Heaven on Earth
A woman, her little plot of land and more marriage proposals that she knows what to do with. Except say "no". This story of a woman bent to hold her family's land with determination make her an unusually strong woman of her times. The plot is a story of not only their love story , but another as well - making it so nice to follow and watch (and hope that Olivia and Luis have their own story some day to fill in their 2 missing years....). The cowboy with the mostest against the woman who won't play "hostess". The whole story is a single read due to the fast pace, the plot thrills and the story lines that do not center soley on the man winning the woman as main characters. That there are 3 love stories to be told (although only two are complete stories for the most part) fill the pages and give a breadth to the story that would otherwise be too thin were it told entirely of just the main characters. This is on my shelf waiting for a snow that prohibits leaving the house for a night so that I can (again) get lost in this wonderful book.
