About this book
A desperate young woman escapes the grinding poverty of Boston slums by answering a mail-order bride advertisement, hoping to transform herself into a lady and claim a better life—only to find herself irresistibly drawn to the rugged, untamed doctor escorting her into the Maine wilderness. Ty Savitch is nothing like the respectable gentleman she's promised to marry: he's wild-hearted, raised by Indians, and makes her blood race with a single kiss that promises passion beyond her wildest dreams. Caught between the security of the future she's already promised and the all-consuming desire blazing between them, Delia must navigate impossible choices in a remote frontier settlement where nothing is as simple as she'd hoped. This is a sweeping tale of two restless souls colliding at the crossroads of duty and desire.
