In 1864 Columbia, California, the gold rush is over. Spirited Katie MacKenzie helps her father run a saloon and writes articles for the local newspaper about the Griffin, a Robin Hood-style highwayman who robs the unscrupulous mine owners and gives back to the townspeople.
Roguish Jack Adams, an adventurer with a dark secret, rides into the sleepy Sierra town one summer day and changes … changes everything.
A powerful attraction smolders and burns between Jack and Katie despite their efforts to resist, but when a tragic death occurs during one of the Griffin’s stagecoach robberies, Katie is haunted by thoughts of revenge.
Can Jack reconcile his life in Columbia with his surprising true identity in San Francisco… and will this couple find their way to happiness in spite of the dangerous secrets that separate them? Journey back to Civil War-era California with Jack, Katie, and historical characters like Samuel Clemens for a passionate & adventurous romance that will keep you turning the pages to the very end!

Enjoyed reading this book.
Very enjoyable read.
Good historical connections.
I liked Katie. She was naive and smart.
This was a great book. Really enjoyed the story line.
A daughter working a saloon to a lady in Philadelphia is quite a switch.
This is a delightful story about a young lady who takes responsibility for herself and her life and is happy to help everyone around her. All she wants in return is truth, honesty and love.
She meets up with a man who has secrets and this is when the story really begins.
There are many twists and turns to keep one interested and eager to find out what is going to happen next.
It is well written and very easy to read and follow and I am quite happy to recommend it as a great read.
