Description
June, 1852. When Abby Proctor is kidnapped from a train in the middle of the desert halfway to her new life in California, she makes a promise to herself — she will escape. There’s a reason Abby is leaving Iowa and all its oppressions behind, and she refuses to be someone’s prisoner again. Especially when that someone is the infamous female outlaw Joey ‘JT London’ Taylor, Abby's brash, brooding, and inconveniently beautiful captor.
But as Abby plots her escape, she discovers a larger conspiracy behind her kidnapping — a complicated revelation given the feelings she’s developing for Joey, who may not be the ruthless criminal everyone believes her to be. When Abby realizes it’s all connected — her kidnapping, the secrets she left behind in Iowa, even her plans in California — she must decide between returning to a life of obedience and unhappiness or trusting an enigmatic outlaw who is bound for the gallows.
June, 1852. A preacher’s daughter with a secret. An outlaw running from the gallows. A love story spanning oceans and deserts and years.
