Emma Denton arrives in 1889 Seattle with a deed in her hand and a dream in her heart. Her unexpected ownership of The Dreamland Lumber Company is a dream-come-true for her. She knows logging. She was raised around her grandfather's mill. Unfortunately, the crew of Dreamland is ready to walk off. They won't work for some woman who doesn't know her place. Jack Royal was waiting for his brother Evan's, long overdue, return from purchasing Dreamland when Emma shows up with the deed. He's certain she and her husband swindled Evan...or worse. When Emma seduces him he thinks he knows to what lengths she'll go to have her way. The fiery passion that flares between these two strong-willed people is more than either one of them can deny, and the troubles between them are only exaggerated by their shared desire.
