Eliza Jane O'Hanlan is called west to care for her ailing mother. Raised by a spinster aunt, she only knows that her mother is a successful businesswoman. When she arrives in Wylder she is shocked to learn her mother is the town madam. But the secrets don't end there... Doctor Sam "Coyote" Sullivan saw enough suffering and dying in the war to last a lifetime. He is more than happy to help the town madam keep her girls free of disease--and worse. The moment she arrives in town, the madam's daughter makes it clear she doesn't approve of her mother's unconventional methods--or him. Before long, Eliza doesn't just have the town of Wylder in a stir. She has Coyote pretty stirred up, too.
