Treasures of the Heart — Connie Mason

FIRST IMPRESSIONS... LASTING LOVE

When he saw Cassie Fenmore sneaking down the stairs of a fancy house, Cody Carter thought her a tasty little confection who he could have for the asking -- and ask he would. When she met Carter on the Dodge City train, Cassie believed him a despicable blackguard capable of any atrocity -- like denying the two adorable urchins who claimed to be his children. When Cody and Cassie learned they were to share the inheritance of the Rocking C Ranch, they had no doubt a tempest of trouble was brewing. But neither could guess that, when the dust had settled, all their assumptions would be gone with the wind -- replaced by a love more precious than gold.

Hero: Cody Carter
Heroine: Cassie Fenmore
