ROSS HAD HIS PRIDE...

Ross McCain was determined to bring a schoolteacher to the town of Prosperity, even if he had to carry her all the way out West. There was no way that the children were going to miss out on learning to read. But he never expected the new teacher to be so hard to live with -- or that he'd wind up having to propose to her just to keep her from leaving!

JESSICA HAD A SECRET...

Jessica Tierney had been forced to flee Sacramento and pose as a schoolteacher. She knew nothing of country living, let alone children! And no sooner had she been introduced to the town that rancher Ross McCain insisted that they marry. But how could she let their marriage be based on a lie -- especially when she knew she was falling in love with him!
