New York 1817, Catherine Benneth is a doctor which is a rarety in those times. She sometimes has to dress like a man to practice the job that she loves. One night, she's attacked and is saved by her friend James. Her gratefulness doesn't last when he tell her she's accused of murdering a man from a respected and wealthy family. Wrongly accused and afraid of being hang, she changes her name to Laura Ellington and runs away with her maid Maureen to Colorado.

On their way there, the are brutalized violently by Indians and she ends up in Texas. She becomes a war doctor but she still has to look behind her back afraid someone will recognize and turn her in.

Catherine/Laura is a fierce, stubborn and brave woman, a rôle model to some woman for her time but not respected with most of the men. With the murder accusation, the violence and the disrespect of many, she's still is strong, determined person.

I truly enjoyed this suspense/mystery novel. Lots of twists that will keep you guessing and of course there is love and passion included. There is graphic violence and language but it goes with the story.

Great characters, great story makes this one an amazing book.
