Heart's journey

About this book

BOUND BY PRINCIPLES ... Wealthy and willful Harriett Foster was a fiery disciple of Amelia Bloomer's -- determined to blaze a feminist trail from the Plains to the Pacific. When the wagon train master would not allow a pair of Boston ladies to travel unescorted, Harriett and her aunt Lucille reluctantly found a hired gun to accompany them. Crossing the continent under Jake Carradine's brusque protection, Harriett was stunned by his appetite for violence ... and stirred by his powerful presence, her feisty independence shaken for the first time. PURSUED BY DEMONS... Jake Carradine was haunted by dreams of a past with too many guns and too much blood. Drinking and womanizing, gambling and gunslinging, were enough to dull the pain -- until he guided Harriet Foster across the wilderness. Jake wasn't sure if it was her indomitable spirit or her electrifying green eyes and sprinkling of freckles that awakened his soul. But what he did know was that his freewheeling days and hell-raising nights were over. Now, if only he could convince the headstrong Harriett that their adventurous trek had truly turned into a Heart's Journey.
