Alice Valdal – Her One and Only
Her One and Only
Emma Douglas fled scandal and disgrace in San Francisco to build a careful, if constrained life, as the schoolmarm in Prospect, a gold rush town in the mountains of British Columbia. Women are scarce in Prospect but Emma remains aloof, until Grey North, self-exiled British peer, blows through her cautious life like a strong wind, scattering her rules and manners like withered leaves. She dislikes him and she tells him so, yet when past secrets threaten her future, she turns to Grey for help.
