West of Paradise
by Marcy Hatch
Synopsis
Katherine Kennedy has it all-she's beautiful, wealthy, and engaged to a man who, at one time, seemed perfect for her. Only she can't marry him, and she can't say why. All she knows is there is suddenly nothing she wants. Not her fiancรฉ Antonio. Not any of the hundred thousand things her money can buy. Jack McCabe comes home from the war with a pretโฆ Katherine Kennedy has it all-she's beautiful, wealthy, and engaged to a man who, at one time, seemed perfect for her. Only she can't marry him, and she can't say why. All she knows is there is suddenly nothing she wants. Not her fiancรฉ Antonio. Not any of the hundred thousand things her money can buy. Jack McCabe comes home from the war with a pretty medal and a lot of ugly pictures in his head. He has nowhere to go, nor anyone to go with. All he has is a vague sense of discontent, a restlessness that will not abate. Separately, Katherine and Jack are drawn to Paradise Tours on the privately owned Cristobel Island, a resort promising life-altering adventure. Just choose the time and place. Suddenly they find themselves over 125 years in the past, 1881 to be exact. Neither of them knows the other is a fellow time-traveler. For Jack McCabe it's the life he craves, and he's at the top of his game-until his run-in with Alanna McCleod, the beautiful but deadly train robber. Katherine no sooner lands back in time than she is mistaken for Alanna McCleod and can't understand why-until she sees the wanted poster. Set in the Old West, this high-spirited tale of mistaken identity, romance, and murder is part historical fiction, part time travel fantasy, and completely captivating.
