She wants to be needed... After a mail-order bride fiasco leaves Olivia Hardy without a groom, she now owns a house and gold mine with eight other women, lives in a town full of rough-and-tumble miners, and has very little peace. When she sees a precious treasure for sale from her beloved state of Georgia, she's determined to help the man to whom it rightfully belongs-whether he wants her help or not. Nothing would distract him... After being falsely accused of a heinous crime, Ronan Briggs worked hard to recreate himself, build his fortune, and plan out every step that will bring him to his ultimate goal... a goal that is now just days away from completion. When Olivia stubbornly inserts herself into his life, he pushes her away, no matter how much he desires to bring her closer. A complication in Ronan's plan arises, and Olivia is the only one who can help him reach his objective. He just didn't know she could heal his heart as well.
