Here and then: Rue Claridge's cousin Elisabeth had disappeared, and Rue was determined to find her. But she never dreamed that when she followed Elisabeth's footsteps, she would find herself more than one hundred years in the past ... and in jail, courtesy of Marshal Farley Haynes. She knew Farley was baffled but intrigued by her modern ways-and Rue was just as fascinated by the rugged marshal. Enough to dream that maybe he could live in her modern world and find a place with her on her Montana ranch. But could she ask him to choose between everything he had ever known ... and a future with her? Dalton's undoing: HE HAD A REPUTATION ... He was known as a major player who'd left a swath of broken hearts across the Teton Valley. Yet when single mother Jenny Boyer saw the tenderness in Seth Dalton's eyes when he looked at her children--not to mention her--it was impossible for her to believe it was all a game. SHE HAD ONE TO PROTECT ... She was new to this small town, a school principal who needed to be respected. The last man she should be getting involved with was the Hunk of Cold Creek! But every time Seth came near, Jenny could feel herself falling ... like all of the women who'd come before her. So why did she hope that her story would have a different ending--as in, happily ever after?
