About the Book

Picture
When Ruby McCoy and her mother arrive in Fairplay and promptly move into the biggest mansion around, they are the talk of the town. But while Mrs. McCoy worries about ribbons, trunks, and wallpaper, Ruby rolls up her sleeves. Since the hanging of her notorious gangster father five years ago, Ruby, hiding under an assumed name, is on a mission to right her father’s wrongs. She is determined to spend every penny of her inherited “blood money” helping those who paid the price for her father’s crimes. But she didn’t plan on falling in love.

Sheriff Rex Truett doesn’t trust Ruby and doesn’t care who knows it. The keeper of Fairplay’s law and order makes it his business to find out why a stranger—especially a beautiful, rich, female stranger—would set up businesses, donate to schools, hire workmen to rebuild houses, and provide access to the best medical care. But when a cholera epidemic sweeps through the city, he is forced to reconsider.

Review

​Loree Lough has written a delightful and charming historical romance that readers will love.  From page one, Lough pulls readers in with a bit of thievery and action.  As the story progresses, readers will fall in love with Ruby McCoy as she attempts to pay for and right the wrongs of her thieving and murderous father.  This is a heartwarming story that will capture the emotion of readers and keep them captivated until the very end.  I would recommend this excellent story to readers that enjoy historical romance.
