GW Buchanan has made millions causing problems and selling the solutions to the highest bidder. Unfortunately for him, his latest scheme, Manifest Destiny, has placed him directly in the crosshairs of BETTE DONOVAN.
After her parents die under suspicious circumstances, Elizabeth King is forced under the stewardship of the dastardly GW Buchanan. During her time in his care, she learned more about American politics than she ever bargained for. GW is a fixer, as savage as he is smart. His latest scheme, Manifest Destiny, has made him millions, and wreaked havoc on the American economy. When GWs son, Bronson, attacks Elizabeth in a drug-induced rage, she's forced to leave the only home she's ever known, or face the wrath of the Buchanans. Elizabeth decides her key to survival lies in hiding. Under the alias, Bette Donovan, she hops a train to Wyoming. On the second day of her trip, her steam engine is overtaken by bandits. Elizabeth unites the passengers in a desperate counterattack and manages to retake control of the train.
She wants to disappear, but the people Bette saved aren't so willing to let her fade into obscurity. Their town, Marion, has been choked out my bandits, corrupt railroad executives, and a political power grab called, Manifest Destiny. GW's reach extends further than Bette could ever imagine. Her past has found her, and if something doesn't change soon, Marion won't be the only thing at stake - all hope for freedom in Wyoming could be lost.
Bette doesn't want to be a hero, but when she falls in love with Marion, and she finds her family in its residents, learns that some things are worth staring down the devil for.
They need a miracle. They need someone willing to stand in the gap for them. They need Bette Donovan.
