Book 3 of The Brides of Last Chance Ranch Series tells the story of Miranda Hunt, a Pinkerton agent who has answered an ad for an heiress of Miss Eleanor Walker's ranch. Since Miss Walker has no children to inherit her ranch is looking for a strong woman who will put the ranch above else, and that means remaining single. So Miranda becomes Annie Beckman, an undercover operative for the Pinkerton agency, who is trying to prove that a woman can do the same job as a man. She is hoping to find the identity of The Phantom, who is responsible for numerous bank and train robberies. Her boss seems to think there is a connection to the Last Chance Ranch. And so does the Wells Fargo detective Jeremy Taggart. He is undercover as a ranch hand for Miss Walker, yet neither Miranda or Jeremy is aware they are there for the same purpose. Strange accidents become more frequent on the ranch and Jeremy and Miranda are thrown together. Jeremy and Miranda will have to decide if love or their careers are more important.
Set in Arizona Territory in 1897, if you love historical fiction, this novel is for you! I learned about the origins of the real Pinkerton agency as wells as the Wells Fargo detective agency. It had just the right amount of suspense and action for me. And the way the main characters conversed with each other was entertaining. You did not have to read the first 2 books in this series to understand the plot. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. Thank-you to Thomas Nelson Publishers for sending me a free copy to review.
