Worth the Risk

Exiled aristocrat Nicolas Balfour Montague is a cynic and wastrel, the product of a faithless mother who was hanged for treason. Sunken into the gutters and rooming in a run-down tenement, he has one shot at building a new life or ending up like the rest of his disgraced family. Boarding a train to Nebraska with his former valet, Nicolas finds himself in a mean town with a prejudiced sheriff. Landing in Jail after an encounter with the Sheriff's thugs, his cellmate is Brody Blackwing. Josie Sullivan is Brody's half-sister. Tough and independent, she's fiercely dedicated to her family. When Josie bails Brody out of jail, she finds herself with two other fines to pay. This is how Nicolas and his valet become Sullivan Farm's hired hands. Passion simmers and sparks fly in this beautiful epic romance by Eve Asbury. Josie is wonderfully written and her angst is palpable as she struggles to find the courage to open her heart to love, and most importantly to risk.
