With the opening scenes, it is obvious that Mary Michael Dennehy (known as Michael) is trying to break into the male-dominated world of newspaper reporting. Ethan Stone is one of 3 men in the publishers office of the New York Chronicle at the time Michael bursts in.
The next time Ethan Stone sees her, she is on a train with a group of newspaper reporters. Ethan immediately recognizes her and worries that she will blow his cover. To save her life and his own, he takes her hostage and claims that she is his one-time wife. Of course, Michael doesnt understand the undercurrents among the thieves who are robbing the train she is on and she proceeds to argue and demand.
One of the train robbers has a hate for all reporters. He makes sure the railway car with the reporters is smashed, killing the reporters.
Ethan worries that Michael will recognize him and get both of them killed. The thieves reluctantly allow Ethan to bring his estranged wife with them to the town where they hide in plain sight. Ethan does everything he can to keep Michael alive; Michael is looking for a way to escape.
Michaels arrival upsets the balance among the thieves and their girlfriends. Houston and Dee have been a couple for a long time, but Houston eyes Michael with lust. Houston even tells Ethan that he plans to get Michael. Dee becomes angry and directs her hatred toward Michael.
There are lots of subplots to fill the 600+ pages. However, there is never any doubt that the focus of the story is Michael and Ethan. The main and secondary characters were drawn with skill. This is the first volume of the 5 part series, The Dennehy Sisters.
