The wealthy owner of a Colorado mining empire, Luke Taggart has seen and done it all. Now, bored with saloons, gambling and loose woman, he feels a restless yearning - for what, he doesn’t know. Until he meets a woman as fresh and pure as a spring morning - and vows to possess her at any cost.
Compassionate, radiant and breathtakingly lovely, Cassandra Zerek has a charming naiveté that seems to blind her to Luke’s seductive schemes and an unwavering belief in the magical ability of love to transform this frog masquerading as a prince into the man of her dreams. Soon Cassie has aroused not only Luke’s desire, but his conscience as well. But neither gold nor guile will make her his own. Only the most precious gift of all can win her: Luke’s deep and abiding love. You can not help but choke up during Simply Love. Cassandra wants Luke only to admit he loves her – he can’t, as he doesn’t know what love is. When she leaves him – simply walks away from him because he can’t give her what she needs, he is so devastated and so torn up, his emotions make you cry. Of course, the dolt does finally realise it is love that is filling his heart.
