About the book:
A blizzard changes everything.
Abigail Bracey arrives in Nebraska in January 1888 to teach school. . .and to execute a task for the government: to identify a student as the hidden son of a murderous counterfeiter—the man who killed her father.
Agent Dashiell Lassiter doesn’t want his childhood sweetheart Abby on this dangerous job, especially when he learns the counterfeiter is now searching for his son, too, and he’ll destroy anyone in his way. Now Dash must follow Abby to Nebraska to protect her. . .if she’ll let him within two feet of her. She’s still angry he didn’t fight to marry her six years ago, and he never told her the real reason he left her.
All Dash wants is to protect Abby, but when a horrifying blizzard sweeps over them, can Abby and Dash set aside the pain from their pasts and work together to catch a counterfeiter and protect his son—if they survive the storm?
My review:
This is a wonderful historical romance.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Abby and Dash. They are wonderful characters with very deep wounds from their pasts. They had difficult journeys to travel emotionally that impacted their ability to process the circumstances that they faced. I loved how Abby had to address the unforgiveness that she had been holding onto.
The plot of the story was fantastic. It was very exciting to read how the town of Wells handled the sudden blizzard that blew in. I had heard about the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard before. This story made it seem more real to me.
I’m giving this excellent story a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
