Moon For A Candle
Alexas Spence -- She came west, a small-town girl with big dreams, ready to fight for the only thing she had ever owned -- her ranch -- even if it meant clashing with the logger and the gentleman.
David Hornbeck -- He rode into her life in a fine buggy and with the courtly manners of an Easterner. But were his intentions entirely honorable? Which did he desire most -- Alexa or her ranch?
Martin Taylor -- Her neighbor on an adjoining spread, he set out to instruct her in the ways of the West, but she knew he wanted the prime timber in her land. Whom could she trust in this wild new world?

Prudence feels that she can provide the love they both need...if only Jonathan will look through the eyes of his heart.
