Maggie's Way

Margaret was determined never to relinquish her freewill again. Shedding her somber clothes and stifling marriage, she takes her inheritance and opens the first beauty salon in Cascade Wyoming. Max Keatcher is not a man respectable women associate with. A gambling philanderer, Margaret endured him as best man in her sister's wedding last fall. He went back to Alaska afterward, and she put the disagreeable association behind her. For Max, opening a gambling house in Cascade becomes his obsession, as did the teasing memory of Margaret. So he sells The Blue Eyed Lady Saloon in Nome, moves to Cascade, and breaks ground on his new venture. The incompatible entrepreneurs are thrown together by circumstances and family. Margaret is unnerved around Max, and despite his confident swagger, Max opens a Pandora's Box of emotions for himself with his flirtations - and a stolen kiss. As the story unfolds, and the people of Canyon Creek Ranch meet life's challenges, Margaret encounters a shadow from her past with brave defiance. But the situation takes an unexpected turn, threatening more than her independence. Quick actions and a fast gun could mean the difference between life, and death.
