My Rebel, My Love — Willo Davis Roberts

ORPHANED AND PENNILESS, WINSOME REBEL CAME TO NEW YORK WITH A BRAVE HEART AND A TENDER HOPE...

New York in the gay nineties was a paradise where anything seemed possible. Into the wondrous city came Rebel Moran, a spirited beauty searching for an aunt and uncle she had never met. When Rebel stepped into the path of a racing wagon, she was saved by a stranger-Luke Kittering. Strong and tender, Luke was unlike an man Rebel had known, and his mere touch flooded her with joyous passion.

But he vanished as quickly as he appeared, and even as Rebel settled into her family's sumptuous mansion, Luke filled her every thought. Suddenly, a slick con man brought financial ruin on her new-found relatives, and they were forced to flee the unforgiving city. Now Rebel would go west, where she was determined to find two dreams: a breathtaking new life, and her mysterious Luke Kittering!
