A mother's dying request to shield her daughter Lily from the custody of her dishonorable grandfather and the sudden closing of the academy in which she is headmistress finds Charlotte Atherton on the run. She is determined to protect her orphaned charge and her students. Lily's wealthy grandfather hires Stone Hammond, one of the best trackers in Texas, to find his granddaughter. When Charlotte shows Stone the paper granting her custody of Lily, Stone realizes that she may not be the villain she was made out to be. Charlotte must trust Stone as a new danger presents itself. In protecting the children under Charlotte's care, the couple also must cope with the feelings blossoming between them.
VERDICT Witemeyer (Full Steam Ahead) is the winner of the HOLT Medallion and the Carol Award and a finalist for the RITA and Christy Awards. Her engaging and vividly pictured Western romance is narrated with warm humor, and its heartfelt story line will be popular with fans of Regina Jennings and Maggie Brendan.
