I'm thinking it is not good for my baby and me to stay
much longer in Whistle Creek, Idaho. The sheriff is
showing altogether too much interest. I suppose I should
feel flattered, for Carson Barclay is not only strikingly
handsome, but a man of character and faith who has shown
Keary and me considerable kindness. But I'm afraid his
affections are ones I cannot return. The secret I bear
makes a future with him impossible.
Yet Inga, when Sheriff Barclay is near, it's everything in
my Irish heart that wishes otherwise.
Your friend,
Mary Emeline Malone
Idaho: mountainous, rugged. Men go there to find their
fortunes in the silver mines--and lose their pasts. But as
Mary Malone discovers, sometimes the past is not so easily
shaken. It will take a good man's strong, persistent love
to penetrate the young immigrant's defenses and disarm the
secret that makes a hostage of her heart.
