Facing a forced marriage to a wealthy, violent man she’d never met, Abigail is facing a tough decision. Should she flee and try to make her fortunes in California, or submit to her Father’s wishes and agree to the arranged marriage.

Packing up her beloved volume of Shakespeare, her last few dollars, and every bit of her nerve, Abigail gets on a train in search of love and adventure. Has she made a wise decision, or will the man she left behind track her down and make her pay for her decision to leave him standing at the altar? Free on Kindle.
