A teacher on the run. A bounty hunter in pursuit. Can two enemies learn to trust each other before they both lose what they hold most dear? Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. He never comes home empty-handed. So when a wealthy railroad investor hires him to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly accepts. Charlotte Atherton, former headmistress of Sullivan's Academy for Exceptional Youths, will do anything to keep her charges safe, especially the orphaned girl entrusted to her care. Charlotte promised Lily's mother she'd keep the girl away from her unscrupulous grandfather, and nothing will stop Charlotte from fulfilling that pledge. Not even the handsome bounty hunter with surprisingly honest eyes who comes looking for them. When Miss Atherton produces documentation that shows her to be Lily's legal guardian, Stone must reevaluate everything he's been led to believe. Is she villain or victim? Then a new danger forces Charlotte to trust the man sent to destroy her. Stone vows to protect what he once sought to tear apart. Besides, he's ready to start a new pursuit: winning Charlotte's heart.

Another delightful story from Karen Witemeyer...I was so excited when this book came in a few days early (before the official release date) that I bought it right away and thought I'd read it quickly. But library books got in my way...well, the waiting just made me love it more.
Charlotte is the perfect heroine–big heart, spunky, willing to do anything to protect the children under her charge. And the children are dears themselves: Lily with her devotion to dime-novel shoot-em-up heroes; John with his talent in playing piano; Stephen with his knack for inventions. And then there's the hero, Stone Hammond, tracker extraordinaire. I loved them all!
