The #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller continues the Orphan Train trilogy continues with this second book about a sizzling romance between the local librarian and a drifter with a price on his head.
As the librarian of her frontier town in Idaho Territory, Emma Chalmers is prim and proper despite her unconventional upbringing by the local madam. She wouldn’t even permit Fulton Whitney to kiss her, and they were practically engaged.
But when Steven Fairfax landed in her home, wounded by an explosion at a rowdy neighborhood saloon, his lazy smile made Emma’s blood race. Slowly, Steven stilled her fears with his gentle, insistent caresses...until at last, she gave herself unashamedly to the splendid passion that was their destiny. But Emma faces a new terror: the drifter she’s come to love so desperately is a wanted man and his past is about to catch up with him.
