Color of the Wind (The Women's West Series, Book 2) - Elizabeth Grayson

When Ardith Merritt promised her dying step-sister she'd take her niece and nephews to their father in Wyoming, she knew it meant confronting Baird Northcross, the man who, on the eve of their wedding, jilted her and eloped with her sister.
Exiled to a ranch in Wyoming by his aristocratic British family, Baird Northcross is a failure, a scoundrel, and a cad. But the rugged beauty of the land, the unexpected satisfaction of hard work, and the presence of a woman like no other awakens the possibility of happiness... if only he can keep from destroying this last, precious chance to win Ardith's love.
