Maggie Ramsay was alone, homeless, and widowed with three children--the man she loved and her life at Glengarry Castle destroyed in one murderous act.

Adrian Mackinnon wanted a perfect jewel to crown his redwood empire; a beautiful, ornamental wife to give him heirs. But Maggie Ramsay, with her Scot's logic, dry humor- -and her past--was not what he had bargained for. Undaunted, Maggie met the challenge of the primitive raw forest and Adrian's own blustery ways head-on, winning the hearts of every man at camp, and tackling a business no ordinary woman would dare. She also found herself in love with her husband. But the closer she got to Adrian's aching heart, the harder he pushed her away.
