Their love rides on a spring and a prayer...

During the recent war, a soldier gave his life to save Jonathan Handleston. With the help of an advanced metal brace on his crippled hand, Jon travels from one poker tournament to the next, determined to earn enough money to pay the debt he owes to the dead soldier's family.

Prosperity Ridge is supposed to be the last stop on his quest, but his brace is broken and he needs an engineer to repair the delicate mechanisms. The only one available is Samantha Weatherly, a beautiful anomaly in a world ruled by men.

Sam is no fool. Jon is no different from any other gambler--except for his amazing prosthetic. Despite a demanding project to win a critical contract to develop an iron horse, she succumbs to the lure of working on the delicate mechanisms. And working with the handsome Englishman.

But danger lurks on the horizon as an old enemy arrives to thwart Jon's mission of redemption, ready to take out anyone or anything that stands in his way...
