Rebecca is on her way to California to see some family and pick out more to bring back to Texas. When she enters the stagecoach, she meets a man who knows her family and her deceased husband. They hit it off, and Marcus is in her thoughts.
When they separate, Marcus can't stop thinking about Rebecca. He hasn't felt this much emotion since his wife and daughter died. The problem is that Rebecca is a believer, and Marcus is a heathen. Marcus gives up everything to chase after her, but it's going to take more than just finding her for these two to have a happy ending.
I liked this one for the most part, but the part I liked the most was the beginning. Once Marcus and Rebecca found each other in San Francisco, things progress, but then they separate for much of the second half of the book. There's little snippets here and there, but mostly it's about Francy and setting up her story. The problem with that is I got involved in Francy's story while the main characters, Marcus and Rebecca, are shoved so far to the side that you almost forget the story's supposed to be about them.
The other strange thing was the POV switches. There are lots of them, sometimes in the middle of a conversation, not only breaking the flow but most of these switches didn't seem necessary. I didn't like getting in the head of a character once or twice and that was it. This was the first book I've read from this author, and it was a decent story, but it didn't make me want to read more of the series.
