About this ebook

Escaping from a mother intent on her marrying a "suitable" man in Charleston, Camilla goes west to visit her uncle, a cook on a ranch. Camilla is stunned when a woman hands her a baby girl and then disappears. At a way station, she decides to leave it with the way-station's owner. An unkempt little girl tells her the baby wouldn't be safe, to take it with her. When Camilla leaves the next morning, the girl is hiding in the stage coach. When Camilla arrives at the ranch, she finds a sullen owner who begrudgingly lets her stay in the ranch house because she's his cook's niece.

Blake doesn't like the feelings this beautiful woman and her two daughters stir up in him—yet, he's furious when another man decides that Camilla would make the perfect wife...

About the author

I have held many jobs in my lifetime, but have always considered writing my career. While in the business world, I managed to write and sell over 400 articles, poems and short stories for magazines and news paper. During this time, I toyed with writing novels, but those efforts are now tucked away in my files. In 1999 I started my first mystery novel. It was published in 2004 and was nominated for the best NC fiction by the Historical and Literary Society of NC. Fiona’s Journey is my 10th novel, but the first written under the name Agnes Alexander and the first Western Romance
