Publisher's summary

Lexy Culhane follows in stunned silence as her father bundles her younger brothers onto the train in a midnight flight away from the only life they have ever known. It seems impossible to her that her gentle, loving mother could have shot a man.

Despite the shock, Lexy soon grows to love her new home at Wild Swan, the grand horse farm in Maryland run by her formidable grandmother, Alexandria Falconer. It is from Alex that Lexy has inherited her fiery and rebellious spirit, and which eventually leads her headlong into a career as a crusading reporter.

When Lexy meets enigmatic fellow reporter Hawk MacKenna, she feels she has finally found her soulmate. But Hawk's life is shadowed by a mistake from his youth, and still haunted by her mother's actions, Lexy struggles to trust him. When her relentless curiosity about his hidden past comes between them, Hawk leaves for the battlefields in the West and Lexy accepts an invitation from distant relations in England. But when she is offered a chance to stay, she faces a test-can she choose between building a new life in this foreign land, or returning to face the pain, and the love, that she left behind?

Contains mature themes.

Stunning trilogy

Strong character development throughout the trilogy & the length of the books meant there was lots of meaty storyline’s explored from the period. Slavery, woman’s rights, black rights, class system & nobility, women working & their education, contraception, suffrage all set within a context of horse racing & shipping & later journalism. An absolute fav that I will visit again and again. Highly recommended

Can’t Wait to Finish out the Trilogy

As I said in my previous reviews, I read this and the other books in this trilogy when they were out of print, and had different titles. As with the previous books I thought this was a wonderful way to learn about American history, and I thought this was a wonderful way to finish out the series. I cannot wait to read this version in audio. I hope the publisher will release more of her books in this format.
