Norah Hawkins wants a new life as far from her old one as possible, but
where can she ever find that chance? When a letter arrives promising her
the deed to property in San Francisco, Norah packs her bags and flees
the broken shards of her troubled past.

Gerard MacKenzie just fine. He loves tending bar in Norah’s saloon, and
verbally sparring with the shrewd businesswoman for more privileges and
work. Her beauty, wit and sass make his blood boil with need.
But disaster looms over their promising new lives when a terrible
earthquake buries their dreams and threatens to shatter their future.
Norah and Mac must rebuild their lives from the ruins and they’ll need
each other more than ever, but can their ties to each other save them or
tear them apart?

beauty of the wilderness, with the simple ways of the Osage people, and
with Jeb. But books can’t teach her how to tame a mountain man.
