This book is full of joy, sorrow and Love. The character's are very well developed. The Heroine is charming, funny and full of tricks. It will crack you up what she does to the Hero in this story! It ultimatley is a book about forgiveness and New Love. It's great!

Tyler Mackenzie is completely driven by revenge. She and her older friend Etty are in Chicago for the sole purpose of swindling Gray Kinkaid. He took over Tyler's plantation while he was a civil war officer, burned their cotton, caused her family's bankruptcy then drove her father to suicide. To add insult to injury he then bought the plantation after the war.

Tyler plans on hustling Gray out of ten thousand dollars through fake railroad stocks then buying back the plantation but a mishap lands her and Etty in his home. Gray is taken with her and willing to invest in her company.

*Spoiler* Fortunately Gray's brother reveals the scheme making Gray feel obligated to escort Tyler to her cousin's home in New Orleans. I am not sure why Gray is compelled to accompany Tyler in the first place, perhaps he does feel a little guilt over his past with her father.

*Spoiler* Tyler finds herself married quickly to Gray in New Orleans. Seems her respectable cousin believes she would be better off with Gray than following her family to Mexico. Tyler is absolutely opposed to this match along with Gray's completely obnoxious little sister.

This novel had too many coincidences to be believable. Tyler happens to see her former marks (she hustled with her uncle for years)in various places, she happens to be a safecracker that can break into Fort Knox itself, she happens to get sick at the right moments. She despised Grey throughout most of the book. Her mantra was "I will hate Grey forever". She is completely blinded to her father's past mistakes and her ability to blame shift is astonishing, everything is Grey's fault. The question I kept asking myself through this novel was, "Gray why do you want this woman?"

It was the first of the three I read and it intereseted me enought to buy the the other books in the group, I really injoyed all three.
