Blurb:
Ida Page has
seen the worst the west has to offer. Snubbed by the citizens of Big Rock,
Colorado, ever since the town cleaned up its act and became civilized, she has
tried to change with the times. No other line of work available, she became a
laundress after the mayor shut down the whorehouse, but the good people will
not allow her to forget her past as a shady lady. She has given up on ever
being accepted, let alone falling in love, until a handsome half-breed stranger
arrives in town.
After the War Between the States, William Steere has been looking for a town to build a medical practice. He answered a newspaper ad placed by the mayor of Big Rock and hopes their desperate need for a doctor will overrule their race prejudice against his half-breed status. At the Independence Day picnic, he is introduced to all the town citizens except for one woman sitting off by herself. This redhead draws him to her with merely a gaze.
Can the two outcasts find love and acceptance in each other's arms or will the town’s cruelty and a smallpox epidemic tear them apart?
