This Proud Love
Riefe, Barbara
Alexandra Love fought her way to the top of a man's world with a woman's cunning and a spirit as mighty as the Rockies. She forged an empire that spanned the vast plains and dared to do what no man could - build the railroad that would open the rich Colorado wilderness to the west.

But the frontier of the 1860s was a rough and violent place. Alexandra's ambition would cost her dearly - in money, in bloodshed, and in heartache. But through her dream of glory would be challenged, nothing would ever destroy the proud, consuming dream of love that ruled her tempestuous heart.
