Maggie Osborne never disappoints. She is one of the best, most orignial voices in romance today.
Jenny Jones would face a firing squad the next day. Marguarita offered to die in Jenny's place if Jenny would take her child to the child's father in CA or take the child to raise. Jenny agrees only to be faced with: A child who hates her, many cousins of the child who wish to kill both Jenny and the child, harsh conditions in the desert, on early railroad cars in Mexico, a stranger who is shot while trying to help, and strange emotions that Jenny had never felt and never expected to experience.
Jenny feels that promises must not be broken and that her word is all that she has --- until a little runt of a girl softens her defenses and a rugged cowboy steals her heart when she is not looking.
