In her bestseller Blaze, Jan Hazard Black, the Harvard-educated son of an Absarokee chief, captured readers' hearts everywhere. "Force of Nature" is the story of the daughter he never knew he had, until 1888, when two visitors present themselves at his home in Helena, Montana. One is his former lover, Lucy Attenborough, and the other is their daughter, Jo. Raised in Florence, Jo Attenborough is much more like her father than her frivolous mother. Strong, determined and intelligent, Jo's interest in engineering is beyond her mother's understanding. The arrival of the two women throws life in the Hazard household into a whirlwind of confusion. Jan's wife, Blaze, must come to terms with this unknown daughter, as well as her husband's former paramour. Jo's half-brother and sister, Trey and Daisy, accept their new sibling with varying degrees of friendship. Trey's special bond with Jo soon causes unpleasant gossip that Hazard and Blaze are hard-put to quell. Then, Flynn Ito rides into town with his cattle drive, and even Hazard's considerable influence is pushed to its limits. The son of a samurai and an Irish mother, Flynn has carved out a cattle empire. He has a reputation for getting what he wants and protecting what's his -- and he wants Jo.
