Heiress Evelyn Thurgood-Baron is determined to escape marriage to the man her father has chosen. In disguise as a lady's maid, Evelyn hops the first train going west, hoping to make her way to California and see the ocean. Evelyn poses as Eve Pierce, a lady's maid hired by Mrs. Smythe, a collector of fine art. But it turns out that Mrs. Smythe is actually Luke Devereaux, a man who has been accused of murder and is wanted by the police. Luke certainly doesn't need a lady's maid hanging around while he is trying to clear his name.
This is a cute historical romance with appealing characters. Evelyn was a pampered heiress who is being used by her father as a pawn in a business deal. Luke is a New Orleans policeman the object of a manhunt. They learn to depend on each other as they try to outrun the people who are searching for them. My rating: 4 Stars.
