Grace

Grace finds herself running from two men, one trying to force her into marriage and another who's after the bounty for her return. Grace knows she must flee before her parents leave for their trip abroad. She will never be safe from Horace once they are gone. When Amelia, one of her dearest friends, sends a letter detailing her humiliating situation, Grace knows what she must do. She must leave for Seattle immediately before anyone can stop her. God willing, Effie will come with her and help her escape The Remington's wide range of influence. Jonah Blackthorn is ready to leave The Pinkerton Agency behind him. He's tucked away a tidy little sum, and apprehending two young women traveling from Boston to Seattle shouldn't be too difficult. In fact, it should be a nice change from hunting down murderers and thieves. The reward for Grace Wentworth's safe return will add nicely to his fund and he's planning on heading to Seattle anyway. Jonah thinks he has a plan when he boards the train in Chicago. However, he doesn't expect the women to be disguised, nor does he anticipate being forced from a carriage at gunpoint and left on the road to Fort Omaha in his underwear, his bare feet bruised by rocks with each step he takes. Angry, yet undeterred he resumes his pursuit with a vengeance, now knowing he is also one step behind the cruel Horace. Will she and her best friend, Euphemia Lane, manage to outwit them both?
