In this alluring frontier love story, a young woman is delighted when she receives a surprise fortune with its promise of a future without fear, but then a handsome man appears and claims the money is his and he will have it - and her.
Celeste Kennedy's father makes an arranged marriage for her but when this beautiful and willful daughter sees how cruel and deceitful her fiance is, she goes against her father and he throws her out of the house forever.
Left as an outcast to scrounge on the street, Celeste barely survives when to her amazement one day she receives a fortune from an elderly bachelor she took care of in his final days.
The money makes Celeste a fabulously wealthy woman, one in charge of her destiny. I don't have to be afraid any longer.
But Fox MacPhearson knocks on her door. Celeste knows nothing about the successful San Francisco entrepreneur except that he says the money is his and he wants everything, including her.
Nothing prepares Fox MacPhearson for this mysterious woman. She kindles his desire. Who is she? Where does she come from? What is she so desperate to hide? Unpleasant whisperings reveal things which cloud his mind with doubt, sorely testing him. Is she my Celeste, my Heaven?
Celeste believes people use her but no one can truly love her. But if she cannot let go of her icy heart, she may lose her fortune and her first chance at love.
