City dweller John McCall never expected to be out in the High Sierras of
1868 on a wild-goose chase to find the Chiltons' supposedly lost
grandson. But now that he's out here, things have gotten even more
complicated, mostly due to wildcat Penny Scott. She's not like any woman
he's ever met--comfortable in the woods, with a horse, and with a gun.
When
Penny and John are taken against their will by a shadowy figure looking
for evidence they don't have, both realize they've stumbled into
something dangerous and complicated. With their friends and family
desperately searching for them, Penny and John must make a daring
escape.
When they emerge back into the real world, they are
confronted with a kidnapper who just won't stop. They must bring a
powerful, ruthless man to justice, even as this city man and country
woman fight a very inconvenient attraction to each other.
What a great book to end the series. All Penny wants to do is build her cabin on her homestead. John wants to find the little boy he's been hired to find and get back east. The only problem is that along the way he runs into outlaws who our out to kill Penny and her family. John kills the outlaw. Now he is on the hit list of the outlaws brother. Penny knows her way around the west. Being a Pinkerton, John has good detective skills. When the two meet they butt heads. In typical Ms. Connealy form humor and mystery were interlaced throughout the book.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in anyway.
