Emma Chandler was taught by her suggragatte aunts growing up that men were optional. She establised Harper's Station to be a women only colony where women could have a fresh start. Where they could be on there and work in positions, that women normally would be in.
Someone is out to hurt the ladies and wants them out of the town they have set up. Not knowing what else to do, Emma reaches out to the only man she could trust, the only one she knows can help them.
Malachi Shaw has finally earned the respect and acceptance he has always wanted. He loves his job as a explosive expert for the railroad. When Emma's telegram reaches he, he returns to Taxes to finally payback the girl who has rescued him and helped him so many years before. He realizes that she is no longer the little girl he remembers, but a woman with a mind of her own - one he quickly falls in love with.
Emma and Malachi work together (much to Malachi's chagrin at times!) to find out what is behind all that is going on at Harper's Station. Who is helping the person responsible for the threats that are happening? How far will the person go?
Malachi's compassion and tender heat shows the ladies at Harper's Station that not all men are to be feared. Not only is he able to be a help to the ladies, but he is also a "fatherly" help to the children in the community.
This book is intriguing and one that is hard to put down as you get closer to the end. It is a very good read!
