Pride Cometh

When life is so perfect, certainly love will be, too, right?

The year 1885

The bustling prairie town of Square Oak, Montana, was worlds away from the Boston society in which Kit Johnson had lived for 17 years. The summer she was spending with her cousin would, she was certain, bring fun and adventure. What she didn't expect it to include was Enos Cullifson. Granted, he was a little rough around the edges, but she knew that would take nothing more than time to correct. After all, if they had love, what else could they need?

The year 1908

Val's words echoed in her ears. "The preacher? You got eyes for the preacher?" Sabra shook her head at the memory. Although Val still ran the most successful whorehouse in town, Sabra had put that life behind her long ago. After a 14-year absence, she'd returned to Square Oak intent on living a quiet life. How was it, she thought, that a chance meeting with Kit Cullifson - and the man they both once loved and now despised - would result in her raising three children and chasing an unlikely love? How could one woman's choices have the power to alter three generations?

The year 1910

Caleb Johnson always got what he wanted. Now that his grandson was back in his life, he could finally ensure the future of his legacy.
