When love blooms : a novel
(Book)

"From the moment Gavin Balke set eyes on Emily Harris... he knew she would never make it in the rugged high country where back breaking work and constant hardship were commonplace. She would wilt there like a rose without water. He'd be sending her back to Boise before the first snows. He'd be willing to bet on it. She could say what she wanted, but Emily Harris didn't belong in the hard life of the Blakes. Heaven only knew why she wanted to leave Boise to teach two young girls on a ranch miles from nowhere. He'd wager it had to do with a man. It always did when a beautiful woman was involved. Emily wanted to be more than just a society wife. She came to the Idaho high country looking to make a difference. Gavin knows she would never make it in the rugged high country but his resistance makes her more determined to prove herself." --page [4] of cover.
