"Loved it again! Warning—it’s sexy. But not overly so.”—Val2, Amazon Customer
A thrilling adventure romance about a young orphan woman and the young Indian man who pursue the bandits who stole everything from her—and find sweet ecstasy in each other’s arms.
Jessica Landon and her younger brother Mark board the train leaving from Odgen, Utah, orphans on their way to start a new life in Seattle in the Washington Territory. Suddenly, armed bandits take over the train and walk up and down the cars, shooting and robbing. They murder Mark and steal Jessica’s carpetbag which has their life savings. Jessica is left all alone and now has nothing.
“You were supposed to protect us,” Jessica whispers to the Indian Union Pacific Railway detective who is lying flat on his back in the middle of the aisle. She leans down, grabs one of his pistols from its holster, steps over him, and walks back to the train stable car to saddle up her horse. Then she takes off in the direction of the bandits. I won’t let them leave me like this!
But the bullet only nicked the railway detective and he soon stands up, saddles his horse, and heads off in the same direction as Jessica. Adam Sern is an expert tracker and it’s his job to recover the railroad’s stolen cash. He soon finds Jessica and has no choice but to bring her along. If he wants to catch the thieves, he needs her. She has gotten a good look at their faces.
Quiet loner Adam Sern and bubbly, feisty Jessica Landon make the unlikeliest pair on their journey for justice. When they encounter the thieves, they will face grave dangers which sorely test their commitment to each other. But nighttime on the trail brims with the sweetest ecstasy as they lie in each other’s arms telling stories about the star-filled western sky….
