eBook Description: When Jade Mackenzie ventures through Wyoming Territory on her way to adventure and fortune in the Black Hills, the last person she wants to see is Landon Burdett, the man she holds responsible for her father's death eight years earlier. After her traveling companion abandons her at Landon's ranch, however, Jade discovers qualities about the man that conflict with her feelings of resentment toward him. How can she care so much about someone who has caused her such grief? The accidental drowning of Jade's father still haunts Landon, and he's held strong feelings for the girl ever since that terrible day. His memories of Jade as a darling tomboy are shattered when she arrives at his ranch fully grown...and utterly beautiful. An unexpected kiss ignites a shared passion neither of them wishes to acknowledge. Will old hurts continue to keep them apart, or can they reconcile the past?

"The Sweetest Gift was so great that once I started reading it I could not put it down. I quickly fell in love with little Will who had a heart of gold and faced such big challenges for a little boy. Jade and Landon were both such strong characters that they just fit so well together. Janet Mills is an incredibly gifted writer who I will definitely be looking out for in the future. 4.5 Blue Ribbons!"--Dina Smith, Romance Junkies
Wyoming Territory, Spring 1876
Dewdrops glistened like sharply cut jewels as the first welcoming rays of sunlight fell in thin slices across the forest floor. Meadowlarks fluttering through the dark canopy overhead trilled a joyful reveille. In the streambed, water flowed like liquid velvet over polished stones.
Jade Mackenzie crouched at the stream's edge. A wide rock behind her afforded ample privacy while she washed, her fingertips numbing as they dangled in the clear water. She filled her lungs with fresh pine-scented air and shivered at the promise of sunshine.
Tipping back her head, she gazed at a bird preening on a wet branch above her. The creature startled into flight, and the resulting icy shower robbed Jade of breath and the ability to scream. She dropped to her bottom, hugging her woolen shirt to her body. Spitting water and a breathless string of unladylike oaths, she scrambled to her feet, sluicing the wetness from brown-corded trousers that had been soothingly warm only moments ago. She picked up her Arlen and Thurber pepperbox laying on the ground just a few feet away.
A shot rent the crisp morning air. Jade jumped like a jerked puppet. She stared in shocked bewilderment at the unfired gun in her hand. Then the sound of a man's voice, unfamiliar and raised in anger, sent her diving for cover behind the rock.
"And keep yer hand away from that gun!"
