We start out in Devon, England -- Louisa Haversham is forced to marry, by proxy, Charles Winslow III of Boston, by her father, Oliver Havershan the eleventh Marquis of Dobbenshire.
She was being sold to the highest bidder in hopes of her producing an heir, a grandson for her father. He gives her some of her mother's jewels and his heavy signet ring with the family coat of arms.
One thought did strike her though, Charles did not know what she looked like. What a relief! So she began to plot her escape.
Good Grief! Her companion, supplied by her father and future husband looked just like her. Fantastic!
Chuckle! Chuckle! Gabe Cutter was on the boat Louisa arrived on to meet up with his Pinkerton men. He has promised safe delivery of a gold shipment and this would be his last job for the Pinkerton Agency. No Brides were going to be allowed on the cross country train ride with no escort.
Now we begin to learn of deceit and deception and Doreen confuses the issue. "Phoebe" decides to help the brides, and rescue Potter from jail and pay him to escort the women west.
Phoebe Gray is unaware of the powerful attraction that started to develop between her and Gabriel Cutter. She could sense his pain and grief but not understand it.
Gabe knew that everyone pegged him as a deserter and no one trusted him. He also knew that he was no good and not worthy of a woman like Phoebe. Yet something about her started cracking the emotional wall he hid behind. [Umm! sounds like pheromones to me]
Phoebe was promised to wed Neil Ballard of Oregon when the train ended its cross country run. She had to keep reminding herself because she found it hard to keep her eyes from following Gabe, even her companion brides noticed.
I am still curious as to what happens to the proxy wedding????
Well, believe me it just keeps getting better and better and DO look for Neil's story in THE OTHER GROOM. When he catches up with HIS bride. Consided this book #1 in a great duo.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M Will capture your attention and hold it.
