In this passionate tale set in Victorian America, a courageous woman must find her way through peril and loss to find the strength to reclaim her life and love again.
After her beloved father passes away and her family's trusted lawyer mysteriously vanishes in the lawless Wild West, Ester Silverton, heiress to one of the most powerful fortunes in the nation, is faced with a grave threat to her life. Robbed of her inheritance by her father's greedy business partner and thrown into the streets of poverty-stricken New York, Esther must bet all she has left on disguising herself as a man and posing as a travelers' guide. Close to starvation, her chance to reclaim her fortune takes a positive turn when she talks a dashing British aristocrat into hiring her for his trip into the Wild West.
But troubles arise when she can't help but fall for the striking nobleman... George Astley, Duke of Aberdeen, is trapped in what feels like the worst year of his life. His prestigious estate is at the brink of ruin, and his best friend disappeared with his investment somewhere in the lawless frontier. To make matters even worse, he's completely confused by his growing feelings for this selfless and brave guide he hired back in New York-who he doesn't realize is a girl...
