The Colonel's Widow

A romance novel that takes place in Arizona right after the Civil War. Amanda Green, a Union Army nurse has seen more pain, hurt and killing than any genteel woman should. She's survived it and a disastrous marriage to travel to Arizona in search of the money her banker husband trusted to a friend to start a bank. In Mineral Wells, there's no money, and no banker. Sheriff Wade Denton suggests Amanda return where she came from or move on. This is no place for a woman. He's sworn off women and settled here trying to put the war years, his failures, and a broken heart behind him. This flaxen haired beauty means one thing trouble, and he knows it. But, Amanda has come too far to turn back now.
