Can one impatient woman with a dream to provide a refuge for women in need melt the heart of an impervious, stingy banker?
Dessa Caldwell has a dream:
to open Pierson House, a refuge for former prostitutes in Denver’s roughest neighborhood. But after exhausting all charitable donations, Dessa still needs a loan. Her last hope hinges on the owner of Hawkins National Bank.
Henry Hawkins has a secret:
he owns the most successful bank in town, but his initial capital came from three successful stage coach robberies. Though he’s Denver’s most eligible bachelor, to protect his past, he’s built a fortress around his heart that no one can penetrate . . . until the day Dessa Caldwell strolls into his bank requesting a loan.
Though he’s certain her proposal is a bad investment, Henry is drawn
to Dessa’s passion. But that same passion drives her to make rash
decisions about Pierson House . . . and about whom she can trust. One
man might hold the key to the future of her mission—but he also
threatens to bring Henry’s darkest secrets to light. As the walls around
their hearts begin to crumble, Henry and Dessa must choose between
their plans and God’s, between safety and love.To find out more about Maureen and her books visit her website at http://maureenlang.com/
