One and Only by Alice Valdal

Hey saw this in the store... anyone read it yet? You might recall Alice Valdal from her first book, The Man for Her. I had mixed feelings about the first book but will keep an eye and an ear out for this one. The writing in TMfH was pretty good, it was a major plot point I couldn't get over. I think she is worth another look. And hey it is a western, book comes out in July and there is an excerpt on the front page. The site isn't great but there is some info. Like this summary: SHE COULDN'T RESIST A frontier mining town seems like an ideal place for Emma Douglas to make a fresh start as a schoolmarm. But even a haven like Prospect has its distractions--in the form of dashing Grey North. When Grey insists on accompanying her on a visit to San Francisco, mutual attraction flares into a night of unforgettable passion. HE WOULDN'T GIVE IN Grey harbors his own secrets--yet he's not about to shirk his duty when it comes to restoring Emma's reputation. He just hadn't counted on this stubborn, spirited, utterly beguiling woman refusing to marry him. But Grey isn't the kind to back down from a challenge, and sweet Emma's love is a prize well worth claiming... Hope it is good.
