Having to pick up and move yet again because someone thinks she has information about a stolen gold shipment her brother took. For the Bellamy gang nothing is more important than family. They have showed this over and over again by bring food and such to their baby sister when needed. She adores her brother they are the best just not very good men always trying to find the easy way to get money which usually means stealing. By coming to visit her they have put her life on the line with everyone in the country hunting her down. Now on the run again she has nowhere to turn until a little old lady said she knows of a man who needs a bride. The cast has been set she is on a train heading to a little town Noelle to start her life over yet again.
Birdie has agreed to marry a man there from his letters he doesn’t sound to kin on marrying it seems he only has one leg and he feels he doesn’t have much to give a woman. As the story takes off they learn many things about each other with many things still left unsaid. Each is hiding a part of their past that has really has kept them both from moving on to their future. It does seem she can’t outrun the outlaws or the law for they have found her. Now she must decide what to do and what to tell Jack. Will she come clean and face the fall out or do what she has always done run for the hills.
Jack is a sweet and kind man who really gives a lot to others. He does have one fault he doesn’t feel good enough for any women. He is less of a man since he lost his leg in a military accident that took his father’s life. If that isn’t bad enough he blames his self for his death leaving him unable to move ahead he is half a man. When he first sets eyes on Birdie he is in shock lord she is so small and tiny, how can she face this hard life when she is smaller than is late wife who didn’t make it very long living the life they did. He is so taken with her he can’t stand the thought of her being with another but can she make it in this land where life is hard a many die before their time? It doesn’t take Birdie long to show him what she is made of. He is totally taken with her, he knows she is hiding something but he isn’t going to let her get away from him.
The plot is awesome it is very different which a hook sewing it all up into a delightful read. I just loved Gus he is something else. I love his innocent was that aren’t so innocent, his forgetfulness as well as his humor. Birdie is a delight sassy woman who knows how to stand her ground. Jack lord my heart went out to him he has lost so much and thinks he isn’t good enough. What he finds is losing one leg doesn’t make him less of a man but more of one. Both of them must overcome their past to find their future. They are so different but balance each other so well. I loved the humor, the fear, the race against time, the hunter who becomes the hunted. Birdie’s true light caring ways really shines through she is really a lovely women who captures your heart from the start. It was nice to see how some of the characters we have already met are doing. Ms. Nelson really does a great job blending in her story with the other authors in this series. There are a few heart stopping moments, danger is all around but so is life, love and romance. I can’t wait to read more in this series each book is just as great as the last.
