Elizabeth is an independent woman who is very outspoken. More than once, her opinions have gotten her into trouble. She wants to get away from the society life in Philadelphia and start her own business in the developing territory of Arizona. She sees a way to get out there by offering to help a former acquaintance recover from an injury. The people she's staying with seem to think she's on the lookout for a spouse, no matter what she tells them.
Michael is the unknowing counterpart to the marriage scheme. His father wants him married to a woman who can hold her own in society, even though Michael has told his father more than once that politics isn't his thing. He's drawn to Elizabeth's spunk and strength but neither is aware of the secret that could tear them apart.
I enjoyed this book. The characters are well done, and the story flowed well. It was interesting to read about Elizabeth's plans and how they never quite turned out the way she planned, but it all fell into place.
This is what I call a "diet book," coming in at under 200 pages, and the rest of the series will probably be the same. The second book in the series is about Jenny, a character you can't help but love in this story. The main characters in the other two books were not in this one, so it might be okay to read them alone/out of order. I've already pre-ordered the second one and will be on the lookout for the other two. Good Book!
*This book is available NOW for $.99, and you can order the second book, Refining Fire for the same price. This deal is available until October 4, so snatch them up while you can!
