Evelyn Thurgood-Baron does not want to marry the man her oil baron father has selected for her (as part of a business deal) and decides to run away to see California and the Pacific Ocean. On her train ride, she meets Luke Deveraux, dressed as a woman. Luke is a New Orleans policeman, who has been named as the murderer of two other police officers.

Although I found much of their introductory interactions to be less than amusing, it didn't take long to really care about the characters and their plight. However, I found some parts to be tedious and slow-moving, overall I enjoyed the story. 3.5 stars
