With a head more suited to bookkeeping than a bridal veil, Ida’s dreams include big business- not beaus. 
 
Ida Sinclair has joined her sisters, Kat and Nell, in the untamed mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado for one reason: to work for the infamous but undeniably successful businesswoman, Mollie O’Bryan. Ida’s sisters may be interested in making a match for their determined older sister, but Ida only wants to build her career.
Under Mollie's tutelage, Ida learns how to play the stock market and revels in her promising accomplishments. Fighting for respect in a man's world, her ambition leaves little room for distractions. She ignores her family's reservations about Mollie O'Bryan's business practices, but no matter how she tries, she can't ignore the two men pursuing her affections—Colin Wagner, the dashing lawyer, and Tucker Raines, the traveling preacher.
Ida wants a career more than anything else, so she shrugs off the suitors and pointed “suggestions” that young ladies don’t belong in business. Will it take unexpected love—or unexpected danger—for Ida to realize where her priorities truly lie?

      Hodgson is a prolific children's book author who has also contributed to 11 books for adults. Her second 1890s western romance continues the story of the four Sinclair sisters (following Two Brides Too Many). Ida Sinclair is passionate about only one thing: succeeding in the business world. When she graduates from business school and a professor propositions her, she promptly moves away to Cripple Creek, Colo., where her sisters Kat and Nell live. Ida lands a job with business owner Mollie O'Bryan, learning how to play the stock market. Life seems pretty near perfect until Ida must choose between the town's new iceman/preacher, Tucker Raines, and Colin Wagner, a lawyer. Investing in the stock market comes easily for Ida, but not so making her heart's choice. Fun and lighthearted, Hodgson's work provides a breezy feel-good read.
