Within the locket hanging near her heart is the secret that's broken it. A life of peace and seclusion as the unknown Miss Denison. It's what Grace longed for even before her father banished her from Washington, D.C. She just may have found it in Lordsburg, New Mexico--the small railroad town where people hide until the world stops looking. A place to send black sheep, skeletons in the closet, rebellious sons ... and wayward daughters whose secrets could ruin a father's precious political career. Yet Grace's cherished anonymity is soon lost when she gets caught in the middle of a huge ruckus. And her life is anything but peaceful thanks to an ornery pet at her boarding house, a precocious young Mexican boy, and a cowboy who makes her want to run to him and from him at the same time. When he learns the secret within her locket, will he break her heart too?
This book was awesome! I read it about two months ago, and I still read it! I've read it about ten times now! I can quote most of the lines too. Great book to read when you've got a lot of time on your hands, you will NOT be able to put this book down!
A GREAT TWIST!

A heart warming read about a spunky gal who makes the most of an unfortunate circumstance. A satisfying romance that's not sappy, but inspiring. Smooth plotting. Enjoyed all the books in this series!
Wonderful Book!

This book is one of my favorites. It's full of adventure, mystery, comedy, and romance. I laughed so hard I almost cried, but at the same time was on the the edge of my seat the entire time. It's about a girl who is sent by her father to a tiny town in New Mexico. She has a secret that she will not share behind her locket, that makes you wonder until the end. And your always curious what the cowboy who pesters her will do next. You have got to read this book. It's Wonderful!
I loved it!

What a great book! I couldn't put it down! This book has everything. A great read. I love books about the old west but most of them are written as "men only" books. So great to find a good western with something for the ladies as well. I loved the heroine and thourougly enjoyed watching her adjust to life in the west.
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Western, Bank Robbery, Runaway horses, Shoot out, Murder, Mystery, Romance, Humor and Christian Values all rolled up into one book! I could not put the book down. Gace Denison and Colton Parnell clash from the time she steps of the train in Lordsburg, New Mexico. Opposites do attract, maybe that's what makes it so easy to like him. It keeps you wanting to know the deep, dark secret hidden in her locket. Grace befriends a woman that knows her family from back east. The older woman gets Grace to see that she likes Colton. Grace takes a job as a telegraph operator in a time and place that a woman did not belong. She lets the other telegraph operators think she is a man, but get their suprise.
