Wagon train scout Finn Carson fell in love with Jessica Beaumont when he saw her in St. Louis with an ill-tempered brute of a man (her husband). Jessicas husband is killed along the trail (because of the deed to a mine); the wagon master tells Jessica she must marry again or be left along the trail.

Finn Carson starts wooing Jessica immediately and eventually gets her to marry him. However, Finn has a secret that could destroy their relationship. When the secret comes out, Jessica doubts Finns feelings for her.

I was eager to read this story because the plot seemed interesting. However, I soon found that Jessica was TSTL. As a very pregnant woman, she decides to leave Finn and join a departed wagon train of her friends.

Frankly, Finn was too good and too honorable for Jessica. She kept asking Finn why he married her I wondered too.
