Amanda Ryan has arrived in the town of Banff in the district of Alberta in 1888. I had to chuckle at the townspeoples reaction to her bicycle. They were scandalized!
Tom Burdock was not in the right frame of mind to deal with someone who appearently has a deed to his property. How can he reconcile the fact that his partner has taken him to the cleaners?
Amanda feels the same attraction for Tom that he feels but to safe-guard her secret she must deny her feelings. She has her grandmother, Miss Clementine and herself to take care of - Don't need a man, thank-you very much. Miss Clementine does seem to adopt Tom's father.
Tom is being run ragged between keeping his business problems and his attraction to Amanda under wraps.
Then the opportunity to take in two orphans presents itself to Amanda and it brings more meaning to her life. Her neighbor Ellie O'Hara, who is pregnant [and her family] are becoming great friends with Amanda.
Ah, but Tom has a Doctor brother, Quaid Murdock who looks down on Amanda but in the end gratefully accepts her help with his wife.
Opps! Amanda found out that Tom's almost intended, Clarissa took off with Finnegan, Tom's partner. And doggonit she would show up at the celebration dance.
I felt almost as bad for Tom as I did for Amanda when I found out her secret - I guess that is what makes an excellent story.
I did love the way Amanda handled her two orphans, Margaux and her brother, Josh - especially after Margaux nailed Tom with the fish hook. Oow!
