Angel Creek

Set in the late nineteenth-century Colorado frontier, an independent woman fights to protect her homestead and water rights against an ambitious local rancher. Following her father's death, Dee Swann has managed Angel Creek entirely on her own, fiercely guarding her autonomy. When Lucas Cochran returns to the high country determined to build a cattle empire, he targets her land and its crucial water supply. Drawn together by intense passion and fierce pride, they must navigate a dangerous conflict where everything they have built is at stake.
