Claim: A Novel of Colorado - Paperback

by Lisa T. Bergren (Author)

Sent West by their father to make a new life, the St. Clair siblings have done so--but hardly as he'd wished. Beautiful, headstrong Moira, after pursuing a career on the Paris stage, has returned to Colorado Springs--older, wiser, and certainly much poorer--to see if there's anything left of a relationship she'd left behind. Older sister Odessa and her husband, Bryce, are struggling to rebuild their ranch after a devastating winter. And then Nic, the prodigal son, turns up--broken, haunted, and sick about leaving his sisters.

At last the family is reunited. But Dominic is still at loose ends, seeking a peace that has always eluded him. Only as he mines an old claim deep in the Rocky Mountains and begins a romance with a local schoolteacher does he begin to understand how passionately he is loved--by God, his family, and a good woman. But even as he relinquishes his fury, Nic discovers there is one last battle to fight . . .
