She became acquainted with Christian Garret during one such delivery. She was hanging onto the outside window of a train as it began to move away from the train station. She “met” him when she tried to leave the train. He introduced himself to her as Chris Brown for reasons which she would question before very long.

Rosalyn had lived with Christian’s step mother until the woman’s death. She was then thrown out of the home. She had written letters to Mr. Garret before Callie’s death so she could talk with him. He never came. He came to town looking for an expensive piece of jewelry which he was sure Rosalyn had stolen.

Of course sparks flew, and they certainly spent time together. However, Rosalyn didn’t know at first that he was Mr. Garret, the man she hated. He knew she was the woman he was looking for, but he couldn’t stay away. The details of this intricate storyline are really interesting. The writing team known as Sheridon Smythe has done an excellent job of intertwining the main plot with several sub plots which made the story even more interesting. Many times a book will ramble or stray from the main interests. This one did not.

The characters introduced and woven throughout the book are believable and fascinating. The authors blended the backgrounds and problems from all the various people involved to weave a story that is well presented and will remain in my mind for some time. I highly recommend the book as something that anyone would enjoy whether or not historical is your preferred genre.
