Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller continues the Orphan Train trilogy continues with this second book about a sizzling romance between the local librarian and a drifter with a price on his head.
As the librarian of her frontier town in Idaho Territory, Emma Chalmers is prim and proper despite her unconventional upbringing by the local madam. She wouldn’t even permit Fulton Whitney to kiss her, and they were practically engaged.
But when Steven Fairfax landed in her home, wounded by an explosion at a rowdy neighborhood saloon, his lazy smile made Emma’s blood race. Slowly, Steven stilled her fears with his gentle, insistent caresses...until at last, she gave herself unashamedly to the splendid passion that was their destiny. But Emma faces a new terror: the drifter she’s come to love so desperately is a wanted man and his past is about to catch up with him.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The second installment of Miller's 19th-century Orphan Train trilogy (begun with Lily and the Major ) is standard fare, but historical romance fans should find it entertaining.used above Although Emma Chalmers, the very proper librarian of Whitneyville, Idaho, was raised by Chloe Reese, the town's considerably less proper madam, this hasn't hurt Emma's matrimonial prospects. Emma's all but engaged to Fulton Whitney, a gentleman who can guarantee her comfort and respectability. After an explosion in the local saloon, the doctor gives a stranger named Steven Fairfax into Chloe and Emma's care. Steven enjoys teasing the delectably prim Emma, who begins to suspect there's more to life than being a Whitneyville Whitney. She is curious about Steven's past and his insistence on always having a gun close at hand, but he remains adamantly secretive. When Steven heads out on a cattle drive, the man who has been hunting him appears: his half-brother Macon, who intends to take Steven back to Louisiana to face a murder rap.pk Terrified by Macon, Emma puts her courage and loyalty to the test as she fights to save the man she loves.
