She's planning on instant success. She didn't plan on love.

When Elizabeth Harding arrives in Cheyenne to open her medical practice, she is confident that the future is as bright as the warm Wyoming sun. Certain she'll have a line of patients eager for her services, she soon discovers the town may not welcome a new physician--especially a lady doctor. Even Jason Nordling, the handsome young attorney next door, seems to disapprove of her chosen profession.

When a web of deceit among Cheyenne's wealthiest residents threatens to catch Elizabeth and Jason in its snare, they must risk working together to save one of Elizabeth's patients--even if it means falling in love.

MY THOUGHTS

Amanda Cabot concludes her Westward Winds series with a thoroughly satisfying read. In fact, she may have saved the best for the last! Each of the books about three sisters are stand-alones, and while I loved Abigail's story in Summer of Promise (reviewed here) and Charlotte's in Waiting for Spring (reviewed here), this one is my favorite. Once again, Cabot brings the newly settled Wyoming Territory of the late 1880's to life with vivid imagery, unforgettable personalities, and timeless struggles. As much as I enjoyed Elizabeth & Jason's story, the interwoven subplots were just as powerfully written and equally captivating, and I couldn't put this one down. A thread of danger adds a layer of intrigue to this novel, reminding the reader that the land may be tamed easier than the darkness within a person's heart. This is a must-read book and series!
