Synopsis

With a head more suited to bookkeeping than a bridal veil, Ida’s dreams include big business- not beaus. 
 
Ida Sinclair has joined her sisters, Kat and Nell, in the untamed mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado for one reason: to work for the infamous but undeniably successful businesswoman, Mollie O’Bryan. Ida’s sisters may be interested in making a match for their determined older sister, but Ida only wants to build her career.

Under Mollie's tutelage, Ida learns how to play the stock market and revels in her promising accomplishments. Fighting for respect in a man's world, her ambition leaves little room for distractions. She ignores her family's reservations about Mollie O'Bryan's business practices, but no matter how she tries, she can't ignore the two men pursuing her affections—Colin Wagner, the dashing lawyer, and Tucker Raines, the traveling preacher.

Ida wants a career more than anything else, so she shrugs off the suitors and pointed “suggestions” that young ladies don’t belong in business. Will it take unexpected love—or unexpected danger—for Ida to realize where her priorities truly lie?

This is a cute sweet christian romance. The story took a bit to get started, but it kept up a good pace. I enjoyed the sweet romantic bits and even the quoting of scriptures here and there. I'm not a huge christian romance reader, I do enjoy Linda Howard and Nora Roberts, but if you are looking for......more

Goodreads review by Joanna on May 18, 2023

This book had an interesting historical setting and a pretty good cast of characters. It’s obvious from the beginning what’s going to happen to the main character because of her refusal to listen to wisdom from those who love her. Near the end she does finally see her own mistakes and turn to God. T......more
