HOMESTEAD, IDAHO TERRITORY - 1880 It was the kind of place where families gathered together for church picnics and barn dances, where neighbors helped each other through good times and bad, the kind of place where a woman with no home and no kin could make a fresh start. For spinster Addie Sherwood, a position as the little town's first schoolteacher also meant a chance to escape a loveless marriage of convenience. But within days of her arrival she found herself receiving yet another proposal, this time from handsome rancher Will Rider. Will was everything she'd always wanted in a man-strong, smart, and heart-stoppingly sensual—but she vowed she would not accept his offer until she was sure he really loved her. For her dream of a new life would turn to ashes unless Will believed, as she did, that home is where the heart is.
