Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold is a story of romance and family conflicts set in Colorado in 1885. Anne Wells has embarrassed her rigidly proper family since she was a child with occasional but grievous lapses from ladylike behavior. They blame those lapses for the disgraceful fact that she is a spinster at 28. Cord Bennett, the son of his father's second marriage to a Cheyenne woman, is more than an embarrassment to his well-to-do family of ranchers and lawyers - they are ashamed and afraid of their black sheep. When Anne and Cord are found alone together, her father's fury leads to violence. Cord's family accepts that the fault is his. Can Anne and Cord use the freedom of being condemned for sins they didn't commit to make a life together? Or will their disapproving, interfering families tear them apart?

Widowed, pregnant, and with acres of crops to plant, Rachel Irons is determined to save her farm. When fate sends her an extra pair of hands in the form of a handsome rebel soldier, she's willing to risk the danger of harboring the enemy. And William Chancellor is willing to work her fields in return for her silence. But it will take every ounce of Rachel's tenacity to remember that this gentlemanly man with the warm-honey Virginia drawl is the enemy--and her heart loses the battle as soon as it begins. Though this man she calls Chance finds himself both moved and aroused by Rachel's strength and simple beauty, his honor demands that he uphold a blood vow he made long before he ever set eyes on her. But Rachel is a fighter, too, and giving up Chance is a surrender she vows never to make--even as his presence puts her own life in peril. . . . From the Paperback edition.
