To the citizens of Mineral Springs, Texas, Janice Harrison is no more than a dowdy schoolmarm. But Peter Mulloney catches a glimpse of the woman she hides, a woman worth having--if he wasn't running out of time. Without a loan to purchase the mountain of gold he's discovered, he'll never escape his wealthy, corrupt family.
Janice only wants what's best for her fragile little sister Betsy--while keeping her secrets. A strong, experienced man like Mulloney, with his hungry kisses, could keep her and Betsy safe...or shatter her soul and leave her worse off than before.
