This was about Jonathan's son, Cole, from the first book. His wife had died and he'd been screwing Clay Langton's widow even though he didn't really like her personality. Stephanie got off the train, to avoid her fiance. She thought it was a regular stop, but they had only stopped for water. When the train left, she realized she was in the middle of nowhere and it was cold. Cole and his son, Josh, were out riding. Her hat blew into the face of Josh's horse, just as she was rounding a corner. The horse reared up and she got hit in the head with a hoof on it's way back down. She had amnesia and lived with them for 10 months. Of course they fell in love. They assumed she was married because of what she'd said in her sleep. Once they had sex, Cole knew he'd taken her virginity. Sally, the widow, did her best to keep them apart. Just as they decided to get married, a man showed up to take her home. She hit her head as she pulled away from the man and her memories came back. Cole doesn't like rich snobs and got pissed and left after he knew she was engaged. Come to find out, Steph was his dead wife's half sister. A Shoshone Indian had foretold this. It all worked out in the end. HEA.

Stephanie escapes the train in, as she looks around, nowhere to get away from the man after her. After the train pulls away she ponders which way is "somewhere" she whirls around the empty train depot building only to frighten a horse and it's young rider. The head wound she sustains causes 10 months of amnesia. The boys father, widowed Cole Cantrell, feels responsible for the young woman and takes her home to his ranch. Until she regains her memory the adventures on the ranch and the fire between the two fill her mind with great 'new' memories.

Cole and Stephanie

This is a great exciting, adventurous and a bit humorous. The thought put in to this tale is outstanding and a true joy to read. Cole is a widower with a young adventurous and often mischievous son much like Cole and his brother were when they were growing up. Stephanie is a young woman that was accidentally injured by Cole’s stallion as she was trying to run away from something. They take her home to help her heal. When she wakes from her head injury she is diagnosed with amnesia. They are drawn together like magnets attract. You will enjoy discovering. You will enjoy discovering how they find their happily ever after.

Another engaging book in this Trilogy, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly enjoy the familiar characters, now older than in the first book. The un-raveling of the mystery was very satisfying, and as an introduction to Westerns (which I've never read) I'm intrigued. Historical fiction is a new genre for me, and so far a most enjoyable one.
