Jessica has been the villain in the past two books of the series and now it's time to see things from her point of view. When her father dies, her mother accepts her brother-in-law's proposal to be his wife and take over care of his household. The situation is frustrating to Jessica, because she doesn't get along with her cousin very well and would rather go to Boston.
On the way to the fort, Jessica runs across Clay, a preacher that looks more like a cowboy than a man of God. Jessica plans to use her time flirting with him and eventually humiliating him, but instead the tables are turned and she comes to find out who she is and what she really wants. The issue is that Clay seems immune to her charms.
Clay is escorting his cousin and her daughter to the fort when he meets Jessica, a pampered, spoiled young woman. He knows how to handle women like her and tells it like it is. Jessica isn't used to this reaction, she's used to manipulating people and getting what she wants in the end. Circumstances bring them together in caring for the little girl and Jessica is faced with some tough decisions. She wants to be a better person, but she wonders if she will have to sacrifice getting what she wants.
I liked this book. I can count on this author to give me a good book just about every time. This was no exception. I appreciated writing the story about the reformed villain from the first two books in the series. The only thing that bothered me was the end. The timing of the proposal seemed a little odd to me. When it comes to books like this, the ending is important and it just didn't fit in very well. Other than that, it was a good book and I look forward to reading the last one in the series. Good Book!
