Called home to Philadelphia just before the London Season gets under way, Violet Mitchell is stunned to learn that the family she hasn't seen in five years is in dire financial straits because their father, Charles, has gone off seeking gold in Montana. With disaster looming, Violet heads out west to find her father—and discovers Morgan Callahan, instead. Sadly, Charles is dead, and the gruff, reclusive mountain man who was her father's partner abducts Violet, believing she is working for his enemy and isn't Charles Mitchell's daughter at all. Naturally, this all sorts itself out, but as Violet spends time at the camp, determined to find Charles's money, her relationship with Morgan changes. VERDICT With humor, a lively pace, appealing characters, a dash of danger, and solid historical detail, Lindsey's latest provides a compelling picture of the Old West, in the author's inimitable style. Lindsey (A Man To Call My Own) lives in New Hampshire.
