Olivia Sterling is on the run. A successful dressmaker being forced into a marriage to a man who wants her money, she hops on the first thing smoking from Chicago to Henry Adams, Kansas to start a new life. On the way, her train is robbed by notorious outlaw Neil July, who promises to see her again. And though Olivia doesn't believe it, he does. And he doesn't stop, even if it means putting his freedom at risk.

The July family has my entire heart, lol. Neil fell hard for the sensible, independent, Olivia and they filled the gaps with each other. He excited her and she settled him. I love having Olivia's journey as a woman, and then fierce advocate for the people and then finally mayor juxtaposed against her falling in love with a man deemed completely unsuitable. But Neil knew how to love her, and appreciate all she was. I loved their secret trysts, and the way they took care of each other. And the ultimate gesture of love for them both--Olivia eschewing societal standards to marry him, and Neil facing his consequences to be with her. It was so very romantic and I felt their passion for each other. The townspeople of Henry Adams made for great humor and I loved the backdrop of the town. It was fun seeing Cara Lee and Chase again and young Teresa July was hilarious. This is one of my favorites.
