Cate Reed has one ambition. One dream. One goal. A theater in Carson City. How can they not have one? So uncivilized. This dream of hers goes against the grain of her sisters, and it seems, of most polite society. Polite society be damned, Cate Reed's going to get her theater, come hell or high water. Or a man who has a bargain. Cate Reed's made a deal with a devil. A devilishly handsome stranger named Landon Jenkins. Landon Jenkins needs an actress to perform the role of a lifetime. Is Cate that actress? And will she get what she wants or what she needs?
