I read the trilogy that included "The Firebrand" and "The Mistress". This was my absolute fave. I would search high and low for a man like Tom Silver. Big, rugged and filled with revenge. How could Deborah not love this man. From the fires of Chicago to the frozen lakes of Canada he was hot anyway you look at him. With a kidnapper of his quality, freedom is definitely overrated.

Interesting story. On the night of the Great Chicago Fire, an heiress confronts her father, refusing the society marriage that he has arranged for her. Suddenly a stranger appears, intent on killing her father. The heiress stops the murder, but ends up getting kidnapped herself.

This is the first story in Wigg's Chicago Fire Trilogy. It just makes me want to read more.

I''m reading through the Wiggs series of books and this is the 3rd I've had the pleasure of reading. Each book I read seems to get a little better, not that any are bad. Being from Wisconsin and having family from the shores of Lake Superior I found myself identifying with the plot setting and enjoyed the little bit of history associated with the plot. Good read.

Very good - takes the daughter of privledge and finds herself held captive of a man seeking revenge for her father's misdeeds. She finds many strengths that she didn't know she had and learns to survive on a small island in Lake Superior. Wiggs gives you characters that you would like to know. Looking forward to reading the next 2 books in the series.

Great trilogy by Susan Wiggs. Must read all three books. Hard to put down once you start to read. Characters come alive.
