Velvet Vagabond

From Beaumont, Missouri to Colorado Territory; from the riverboats to the gold fields of Colorado Territory - 1871: Ember Graham knew very little about her real identity. All she knew was that her adoptive uncle had found her as a child all covered with ashes, the only survivor of a terrible fire. He had named her Ember and given her his own last name. Traveling in a medicine show she helped her “uncle” sell his elixir. When they were run out of town, leaving the show’s seductive female dancer behind, Ember found herself facing the raucous crowd wearing an exotic, scanty Egyptian costume. She was rescued from the embarrassing situation by a handsome red-haired man in the audience who swept her up in his arms and carried her away. He offered friendship and the promise of love.

Garet Prescott had taken one look at the dark-haired, blue-eyed dancer and had known in an instant that she was in trouble. He also felt an attraction for the lovely young woman that was stronger than any he had ever felt before. It seemed to be his destiny to be with Ember for the rest of his life. Feeling in his heart that she felt the same way, he made plans to take her with him when he traveled west. Deceit, betrayal and murder ruined his plans, however. After stealing his heart Ember had disappeared, running away from the men who had killed her uncle. Now they have targeted her as the next victim.

Reunited when they least expect it, Garet will once again become Ember’s guardian angel by saving her life. Taking her with him to Colorado Territory their deep and enduring friendship will blossom into passion and a love more potent the second time around.
