The small town of Little is waiting for the arrival of an important newcomer. Lord Rolfe Sherborn, a real live English lord coming to live in the American west. Lillian Prescott is unimpressed, her Father the town sheriff wants her to join him as part of the welcoming group. Lillian's thoughts about this man seem justified when she sees him, dressed like a dandy with a walking cane, she doesn't think he'll last five minutes living there. But Lord Sherborn appearance belies his true personality and strength.Rolfe thinks Lillian's behaviour is really inappropriate for a lady, helping the town doctor tending the sick. She even helps the saloon girls when they are ill. Rolfe has no reluctance in telling Lillian about her behaviour, for her part she tells him to mind his own business. Women out west are not like the fancy ladies he knew in England. They certainly clash. Then something happens where they are caught in a compromising situation and they are forced to marry.This is a very good love story. The characters are very well developed, including the secondary ones. The dialogue between Lillian and Rolfe is very entertaining. Plus the love scenes are just right. Once they are married a series of strange accidents keep happening to Lillian, and it's not long before Rolfe realises that these accidents are very real attempts on Lillian's life. A very good read with a wonderful love story. Once again Donna Fletcher has written a real page turner.
