On the way, her train is robbed by the notorious Morgan Gang, led by Luke Morgan, and to Jenny's shock, she discovers that she is attracted to him. Their growing love for each other is haunted by Jenny's memories of the past and plagued by Pinkerton detectives determined to apprehend the Morgan Gang. Bestselling author Brandewyne weaves a tale filled with the lore of the Ozarks and marked by good historical research and well-drawn characters. (May)
