Publisher's Synopsis
Aimee Winters has made the bravest decision of her life. Left alone and homeless, she has accepted her father's offer to stay with him in the Arizona territory and teach at the local school. The problem is she has no memory of her father, having been raised by her mother and taught that her father died when she was a baby. Hungry to know the truth of her past, she leaves Memphis behind and journeys alone to the mountainous region where she faces challenges she never could have anticipated. The rugged living conditions and the isolation of the community are almost more than she can bear, but she is determined to prove she can do things "the Arizona way." It doesn't help that the handsome rancher, Levi Raines, seems to take a special delight in pointing out her weaknesses. It isn't long, however, until her heart is woven into the lives of her students, their families, and especially Levi. As their relationship grows, the shadow of their very different backgrounds and goals is ever present. Can they find common ground?
