1870 Wyoming Territory

Victoria McKenna was a Western woman-tough when she had to be, but soft inside where she kept her secrets and dreams. Her cattle ranch on Wyoming's notorious Outlaw Trail was the only home she had ever known. But her cheating half brother, Robert, had sold it to a stranger named Mason Mahaffey, who turned out to be a rangy, handsome cowboy with five orphaned brothers and sisters. Victoria had to choose whether to fight him for her land or listen to the instincts that told her he was a man who could love a woman with a lonely heart.
