Their love rides on a spring and a prayer...

 

During the recent Civil War, a soldier risked his life to save Jonathan Handleston--and lost. With the help of an advanced metal brace on his crippled hand, Jon now travels from one poker tournament to the next, determined to earn enough to repay the blood debt.

Prosperity Ridge is supposed to be the last stop, but his brace is broken and he needs an engineer to repair it. The only one available is Samantha Weatherly, a beautiful anomaly in a world ruled by men.

Sam is no fool. Jon is no different from any other gambler--except for his amazing prosthetic. Despite a demanding project to win a critical contract to develop an iron horse, she succumbs to the lure of working on the delicate mechanisms. And working with the handsome Englishman.

But someone doesn't want Jon to win. And he'll go to any length to make sure everyone around Jon loses... up to and including their lives.
