“When she thought back to that night, she started to shake all over again. Gunshots in the night, voices hollering horrible, things, grabbing her rifle and returning fire, the searing pain of a bullet in her arm, the wagon burning so brightly All that was left of her lifetime of years in the Wild West Show had burned up that night ”

So begins the cocluding volume in Lauraine Snelling's trilogy of novels in the WILD WEST WIND Series

As winter settles over the ranch, the Engstrom brothers are much on the mind of Cassie Lockwood. The way Lucas smiles at her should set her heart to tripping. But it doesn't. Shouldn't there be some attraction to him if they are going to be married? His vow to make her love him does not seem to be working, no matter how considerate and charming he is.

Ransom Engstrom is another matter. After Cassie's train trip to a shooting competition, she realizes she misses Ransom more than Lucas. And then there's the look she caught Lucas sending Betsy Hudson at church one Sunday. Are she and Lucas drifting apart?

Meanwhile, Ransom has discovered that he cares for Cassie but can't bring himself to express his true feelings to her. When she leaves to join a Wild West show for the summer, will Ransom summon the courage to go after her?
