Book excerpt: Sarah Kincaid wants only the simple things: a home, a family, and a place in the community, where she can set a good example and lead a moral life. So when she discovers that the terms of her mother's will have made her the owner of a saloon, she is shocked. Even more shocking, however, is Sarah's reaction to Nate Bartholomew, the son of her mother's second husband. Tall, dark, and unmistakably tempting, Nate is a gambler by trade - and hardly an upright citizen. To counter her unbidden, and dedicedly scandalous, feelings for him, Sarah vows to reform him instead - and finds him a surprisingly eager pupil ... Taking in a trio of starving orphans on the run from an unsavoury gang is hardly the way to conduct a romance - if not a redemption - but Sarah and Nate soon learn that the only proper thing to do under the circumstances is to let love take them where it will ... and get ready for a passionate adventure!
