Summary
Molly Hatfield is desperate; desperate enough to move herself and her young brother from Dobson Creek, Colorado to Cactus Patch, Arizona in answer to an advertisement seeking an heiress for a large ranching business. The employment opportunity at Last Chance Ranch seems like the answer to an unspoken prayer until she arrives there. The owner, Eleanor Walker, is no¬nonsense through¬ and ¬through; and no one is pleased that Molly has arrived with a crippled brother who needs almost constant watch care.Who knew that ranching was so hard? However, it's the town's young doctor who gives Molly the most sleepless nights. Why, oh why, does he have to complicate things? Doctor Caleb Fairbanks is introduced to Molly Hatfield with a \"bang\"; literally! She mistakes his back¬firing horseless carriage for gunshots and takes one of her own at the good doctor. But Caleb is instantly mesmerized with the beautiful, albeit dressed up, candidate for Miss Walker's heiress position. And he is determined, as a physician, to help her brother Donny become more independent. But he quickly learns that Molly and Donny don't exactly want the kind of help he can give them. Molly is deeply scarred by her past and carries guilt around her neck like a boulder. It's going to take a miracle for Molly's heart to soften enough to break the clause in the heiress contract to \"remain single now and forevermore\". Witty and delightfully enticing, this book almost turned pages on its own!
