She fled scandal in Philadelphia. He guards his heart in the Arizona Territory. Can a frontier courtship heal two wounded souls?1875, Copper Canyon, Arizona Territory — Catherine Miller arrives as the new schoolteacher with nothing but her teaching certificate and a secret that destroyed her reputation back East. When a vindictive suitor's lies ruined her life in Philadelphia, she fled to the untamed frontier seeking redemption and a second chance.

Raising his orphaned niece while keeping the peace in a rough mining town is challenge enough. The last thing he needs is a stubborn, opinionated teacher who questions his every decision.
But when Catherine transforms the one-room schoolhouse into a place of wonder, James begins to see past his prejudices. And when danger threatens the town, Catherine proves she's stronger than any Philadelphia socialite—she's a true frontier woman with the courage to fight for what she believes in.
