Synopsis
They are the women of Primrose Creek, and their strength and passion is a match for the Nevada frontier they call home. Linda Lael Miller masterfully captured the hardships and dangers of a country swept by the winds of war--and the daring and determination, the hopes and dreams of four unforgettable women--in a thrilling new series. When Bridget McQuarry settles in Primrose Creek, she has nothing to lose. Her husband, Mitch, was killed in the Civil War; she has lost her family farm to Reconstruction taxes. With her baby son and a sister to care for, Bridget vows to start anew out West. But when Mitch's best friend reappears in her life, he sparks a forbidden passion she thought was foreever buried. Trace Qualtrough grew up with Bridget and Mitch -- three happy childhood friends. But the attraction that fluttered between him and Bridget was silenced when she married Mitch. Now Trace has come to fulfill Mitch's final wish -- to watch over the lovely, spirited Bridget. And now, Bridget and Trace must discover if their restless desire is a shattering betrayal -- or something sweeter the second time around.
