When a spurned suitor threatens her, heiress Alexandra Tarkington flees New York for Mesquite Springs in the Texas Hill Country, where her father is building a hotel. But the happy reunion she envisions is not to be as her father insists she return to New York. Instead, Alexandra carves out a niche for herself in town, teaching schoolchildren to paint and enjoying the company of Gabe Seymour, a delightful man she met on the stagecoach.

But all is not as it seems. Two men, each with his own agenda, have followed her to Mesquite Springs. And Gabe is an investigator, searching for proof that her father is a swindler. When a series of apparent accidents threaten her life, Alexandra and Gabe will have to work together to discover the truth. And perhaps along the way they will discover that the sparks of attraction they've felt from the beginning are more than sparks--they're love.

Bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites you back to 1850s Texas for this exciting and heartwarming tale of treachery, love, and learning to trust.

My thoughts: this third book in the series wraps up the mystery thread that worked through all three books nicely. We catch up with familiar characters and get a few new ones and we leave the area wishing there might be more books set in that part of Texas. However Ms  Cabot has a new series coming out set in another part of Texas and she promises that we will fall in love with that too. If you love historical romances with a touch of mystery you will want to read this book and any of the others in the series. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
