For five years after her father died, lithe, beautiful Dee Swann held on to Angel Creek valley and her independence. The homestead was hers, and she vowed no one else would ever own it...or her. Then Lucas Cochran came back to Colorado. In the drought-cursed high country, he needed Angel Creek and its cool water to turn his Double C ranch into the cattle dynasty he craved. His ruthless ambition guaranteed he would fight to take it away from the black-haired, green-eyed spitfire who claimed it. But the passion that blazed when Dee Swann and Lucas Cochran met shocked them both. Unbidden, unexpected, their kisses swept them toward a dangerous destiny where dreams might be scattered...men could be killed...or love would be born as wild and unfettered as this glorious frontier.

Plot Summary: This historical western romance features two love stories between best friends - there is the independent wild-cat farmer, Dee Swann, and her friend, the proper town heiress, Olivia Millican. Dee sits on the one parcel of land that never runs dry, the aptly named Angel Creek. All the local ranchers would love to buy her out, but Lucas Cochran soon decides that he wants Dee in the bargain too. Meanwhile Olivia has been steeling herself to accept Lucas since the whole town assumes they're an item, but she is drawn to a Mexican drifter who packs some serious iron. When a drought turns the countryside dry, Dee comes under attack and Lucas betrays her in order to save her.This is the sure sign of a good, but forgettable story. I'm having really hard time coming up with anything to say for this review. There's nothing glaring or ugly for me to criticize, but I know I won't remember this one too well in a week or so. While I certainly don't have any complaints in the sensuality department (the love scenes were scorchers), I didn't get sucked into either romance on any deep emotional level. I've noticed that often happens in stories that feature more than one romance, and it felt like Ms. Howard was spread thin, trying to define two relationships in a little more than 300 pages.I thought the historical details were adequate without being jaw-dropping. I've noticed that Ms. Howard is an expert at providing just enough backdrop to make things believable, but she doesn't go above and beyond in this particular story. I thought she had a nice balance between the lovers, although I probably liked alpha brute Lucas the least. He just didn't have enough endearing qualities to make up for his riding roughshod over everyone and everything.
