Train from Marietta

Product DescriptionWhen Katherine Tyler is kidnapped by a band of outlaws while on a cross-country trip, cowboy T. C. Castle rescues Katherine and hides her at a remote ranch where he lives with his five-year-old disabled daughter. By the author ofRiver Rising. Simultaneous.From BooklistIt's 1933, but the Wild West is as untamed as ever, as nurse Katherine Tyler learns when she's abducted and taken to a hideout in southern Texas. Katherine's wealthy father, who has been told not to contact the authorities, calls on a friend in the Texas Rangers, who in turn asks rancher Tate Castle to locate Katherine. Tate owes his friend a favor, but the last thing he wants is to do something that might leave his crippled daughter fatherless. Eventually, honor wins out over good sense, and Tate rescues the spunky Katherine; but his injuries are so bad that Katherine has to finish the rescue herself. The good guys have their issues, and the villains are three-dimensional, running the gambit from sociopath to reluctant accomplice in Garlock's intriguing tale. She has fashioned a nice piece of Americana and a fine western romance set in a time period rarely explored in this subgenre.Shelley MosleyCopyright
