Life couldn’t be better for Abigail Gilbert—but it’s been a long time
in coming. Having lived with a family who hated her, it’s finally her
time for love. Abby sets off on a journey across England to marry one of
the most prestigious gentlemen in the land—until highwaymen upset her
plans and threaten her life.
Horse patrol captain Samuel
Thatcher arrives just in time to save Abby. But she’s simply another
victim in a job he’s come to despise. Tired of the dark side of
humanity, he intends to buy land and retire.
Abby pleads with
him to escort her for the rest of her journey. He refuses—until she
offers him something he desperately needs to achieve his goal. . .money.
Delivering her safely will give him more than enough to buy property.
So begins an impossible trek for the cynical lawman and the proper
lady. Each will be indelibly changed by the time they reach her
betrothed, if they don’t kill one another first—or fall in love.
This is a good story with lots of action. Abby is on her way to get married to Sir Jonathan. Her father and step mother want to get rid of her so they sent her away. Alone without protection. Along the way she is deserted by her maid, waylaid by highway men, and given the responsibility of delivering a baby to her aunt. She is rescued by Samuel Thatcher. With a little persuasion he hires on as guardian for Abby. Their journey is very interesting. This isn't a high suspense book. But has lots of adventure. I recommend this book.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
