In this sizzling story a pampered English woman on the American frontier is torn between the man she has promised herself to marry and the Irish-born renegade who captures her heart and must decide—promise or passion?
The English lady traveling by herself survives the rough seas journey to America, venturing to her arranged marriage to a wealthy powder mill owner she has never met. Working side-by-side with her new husband has its challenges but is not without great satisfaction until one day an enormous explosion at the powder mill kills him and destroys the mill, leaving her to run and rebuild it all the while grieving.
Desperate and overwhelmed, she places an ad for a mill man to run the day-to-day, signing only with her initials, and is about to say yes to her brother-in-law’s marriage proposal, even though she shrinks from her brother-in-law’s touch.
Fate brings the Irishman to her doorstop. The Irish-born renegade Michael Patrick O’Brian who answered the ad is a strong, sensual man, but secretive.
When they first meet, the new mill foreman cannot believe the man he has been writing to a woman! She is going to be more trouble than a lit powder keg.
The Irishman chafes at her directions but secretly is attracted to her. One hot summer’s day, things get out of hand with the English lady and the Irish renegade in one of their disagreements. When she later finds out she is pregnant by him, everything spirals out of control.
Dangerous accidents start happening. A building adjacent to the mill catches fire … terrible incidents injure the people who work for her, and she even is forced to admit her own safety may be in jeopardy.
Elizabeth and her unborn baby are in grave danger. Where will she be safe?
