Can a charming saloon keeper convince a ruined barmaid heβs a sure bet?
True love is worth more than gold in this delightful followup toΒ The Prospectorβs Only Prospect.
Scandal has taught aspiring school teacher Temperance Goodrich to never trust a man. Stranded in lawless Denver City, sheβll do anything to earn enough to return home before winterβeven work as a saloon girl. But entertaining rough men who are starved for female company isnβt easy, and time is running out.
When Owen Stames finally finds a claim that pays, heβs determined to prove the naysayers wrong and open his own saloon before the gold runs out. Too bad the sole vacant building is a former funeral parlor, and the only available employee is the prickly city girl whoβs been fired from every bar in town.
Temperance is wary of Owen, especially when the accommodation he offers is a bed they must share. But when a brazen robbery nearly costs them everything, they realize they only have one shot at loveβ¦ so theyβd better take it. Β
