Jessie Taggart has packed her bags and left the quiet of civilized Boston for the wilds of San Francisco. Jessie had just lost her father and plans to lay him to rest, and settle the situation with her father's partner Jake Weston. When Jessie arrives in town, she learns very quickly her new "partner" is not happy to see her. The next shock was finding out she does not own not a restaurant as she was thought but a bawdy house and allot property that is more interesting.
It appears that Jake wants Jessie back in Boston where he thinks she belongs and let him run the business as he sees proper. Jessie disagrees and fights him verbally and legally for her right to be the majority owner in their partnership. But when she is not driving him business crazy she is driving him crazy with passion and she makes him realize that the kind of business he has in mind for her has nothing to do with facts, figures, or balancing the business.
When accidents turn out to be pre-medicated murder attempts on Jessie the reality that not only Jake does not want her around and she wonders if maybe she should go home. Jake has other ideas and once he taps into both Jessie's business sense and her passion there is not sending her anywhere but his bed.
The one lesson Jessie has learned from her time in the rugged west is that the men are rough but the one man she has fallen for is tender and loving. Jake may not think a woman has a place in a bawdy house but he knows Jessie is every ounce her father's daughter and can handle anything that comes her way including murder attempts, kidnapping and love of a strong man.
After I started reading this book I realized how much I love the Western genre and need to tap into it more often. The men are tough cowboys with strong women always right by their side or at times standing in front telling them what to do. The only downside for this book for me was the repeat of a crime and there is a little difficulty figuring out who some of the back characters are. This book is worth the time and the love story is one you will remember long after the last page is read.

The story is good, but the formatting, misspelled words, no spaces between words, sentences repeated behind one another, words missing at beginning of sentence did make it difficult to stay engaged in the story. If it wasn't for that, I would have given this book 5 stars. There are well over 15 mistakes in this eBook; I almost quit reading it because the errors are so bad and so many.

This is another great book by one of my favorite authors. I have read so many Kat Martin books recently and she can "build" a bad boy like nobody else. This is a believable story of San Francisco in the 1870's. Very interesting story line with plenty of suspense as Jessie and Jake fall in love. The proper Jessie from Boston with a fine education learns that her father has been murdered and the restaurant she thought he owned is in reality a gambling hall and a baudy house. She proves to be a tough gal and survives a couple of attempts on her life.. Just enough hot romance to keep things interesting. She owns 51% of the business to Jake's 49% and it looks like that means trouble. This is one story I don't want to ruin for anyone but read it - you'll love it..
