Remembered


Alexander, Tamera
Remembered

The threat of war -- and a final request -- send Veronique Girard from France to a distant and uninviting country. In the Colorado Territory, she searches for the man who has held her heart since childhood -- her father, Pierre Girard left Paris for the Americas to seek his fortune in fur trading, vowing to send for his wife and daughter. But twenty-five years have passed and his vow remains unfulfilled. Sifting through shards of broken promises, Veronique embarks on a dangerous search for a man she scarcely remembers.

His grief finally healed, Jack Brennan is moving on with life. After years of guiding families west, he is now working as a freighter to the mining towns surrounding Willow Springs. What he doesn't count on is an unexpected traveling companion on his trips up into the mountains, and how one woman's search will cause havoc with his plans...and his life.

INCREDIBLE, LYRICAL WRITING. SHE PAINTS PICTURES WITH HER WORDS AND THE READER IS TRANSPORTED BACK IN TIME. JACK AND VERONIQUE'S ROMANCE IS EXPERTLY CRAFTED, GROWN OUT OF FRIENDSHIP BUT RELUCTANTLY BY BOTH. WONDERFUL HISTORICAL DETAIL, PAGE TURNING PLOT, GREAT SECONDARY CHARACTERS.
