Love's Legacy

HE WANTED TO HATE HER

In 1888 Pennsylvania, coal is survival, and the wealthy mine barons are its keepers. But for the miners, it's a treacherous way of life. Railroad owner Jesse Sinclair lost his father in a tragic coal mining accident and has never forgiven millionaire Edward Vander, a man he considers nothing short of a murderer. So when Jesse meets Loralee, the town's doctor-in-training, and immediately feels an instant attraction to her, it is quickly tempered by the ice of bitterness. For she is none other than Vander's daughter.

SHE DARED TO NEED HIM

Fiercely independent by nature, recklessly flirtatious by will, Loralee feels inescapably drawn to Jesse. Yet her father's determination to marry her off to a wealthy but unscrupulous suitor makes Loralee battle her overwhelming attraction for the brooding, passionate Jesse. Soon, their tempestuous dance of desire is threatened by the evil machinations of power-hungry men, shaking Loralee to the core and forcing her to question Jesse's sincerity. But unable to turn her back on the only man she has ever loved, Loralee will risk all to save the love she has always dreamed of a love that is her destiny.
