Amelia Prescott was from New York City -- boy were things different in the Wild West.
She was traveling to the Dakota Territories to find her brother, Parker and convince him to come home.
Her prim and proper upbringing would not allow her to encourage the attentions of a roguish gambler like Gabriel Hatch.
Blonde haired and blonde mustached Gabriel was just too handsome to be trusted.

She was very upset when she found out that Gabe was her brothers' partner.
And to have to find her brother in a brothel.

Gabriel Hatch found it very interesting to bate Amelia with his sense of humor but she was not someone that he intended to get further involved with.

Cassandra had cured him of any romantic illusions when she took off with another man.

Yet he found it hard to ignore and stay away from this city gal.
Amelia soon came to understand that her brother was in love with a fallen woman. Maybe the freedom he was seeking was allowable to her also?

Boy did her brother explode when he found her in bed with Gabe.
This was a challenge in the making. Should she consider herself a fallen woman? Yup, if the shoe fits.

Amelia agreed to give her brother six weeks and then he was to agree to go home to New York. Well a lot can happen in 6 weeks.

Amelia couldn't believe that Gabriel had a wife. Parker couldn't believe Gabe would commit adultery with his sister. What a mix-up!

Big Jim Connors, owner of the Lucky Horseshoe saloon was going to ruin Gabe and take Parker down with him. Somehow he found Cassandra and brought her back. What a coil.

Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable story except for these loose broads -- but I can't knock the writing.

Will recommend --M great way to pass the evening -- now onto #2 "Lucky Bride" Parker's story.
