Standing on the platform at Grand Central Depot, Ted Harper is surprised by a fiery kiss from an undeniably gorgeous damsel in distress. He's certain sheтАЩs a swindler whoтАЩs only after his money, but he's never met a woman so passionate and sure of herself. Disarmed, he invites her to spend the journey to St. Louis in his private carтАФperhaps against his better judgment┬а.┬а.┬а.

Clara Dawson has long known how to take care of herself, but the savvy shop girl is at a loss when she witnessesтАФand becomes entangled inтАФa terrible crime. Desperation propels her into a strangerтАЩs arms at the train station, but she hadnтАЩt expected Ted to offer her the protection she so badly needsтАФnor did she expect their chemistry to develop more steam than the engine of the train. HeтАЩs everything she never thought she could have, and sheтАЩs everything he didnтАЩt know he wanted. But as her secrets begin to unfurl, their fledgling romance could be in danger of derailing before they arrive at the next station.
