With those choices weighing on her mind, she doesn’t notice that the necklace has gone missing. It’s her responsibility.The train journey becomes a chase as Eileen spots the jewel thief with the necklace and takes off after him. She pulls every trick in the book to get the necklace back, until she begins to wonder … does she have the right man? But, a lawwoman knows no fear, and she’s determined to see justice done, even if it kills her.Praise for CJ Love’s historical Westerns:“Couldn’t put it down! Literally my favorite story.
