"On a midnight train, four hours away from her wedding, Beth McMurray discovers the devastating truth about the powerful senator she's about to marry. Convinced nothing could make this stormy night worse, the train wrecks, and she tumbles straight into the arms of an outlaw. Andrew McLaughlin doesn't believe in loving except between the pages of his writings. He loved deeply once and thinks he'll never survive another loss. To save a friend, he climbs aboard a train heading toward Dallas. In the moment before the train crashes, he saves a beautiful woman and is injured in the fall. He wakes up to find she's claimed him as her fiance--and now they're both on the run, and destined to do everything it takes to make an unexpected promise of love come true."--Page 4 of cover.

Sometimes, 5 stars just doesn?t seem enough praise for a book; this is one of those times. Don?t walk, race to get a copy! One of the attributes I look for in a novel is an innovative plot; one that doesn?t go down the worn and rutted path. Added to that, this book has lots of humor, pathos and romantic tension.
Teagan McMurray?s youngest daughter is 24 and ready to settle down with a politician, Lamont LaCroix. Her fiancée encourages Beth McMurray to meet him in Dallas and have a quickie wedding; she agrees.
Beth decides to surprise her fiancée by getting on the train earlier; however she is the one to be surprised. In shock, she looks for a way to get away from her fiancée. She looks around and notices several men climbing aboard the train; before long, she surmises that they plan to rob the train.
Before that happens, the train crashes; Beth is saved by one of the ?would be? robbers. While he is unconscious and bleeding, Beth claims the stranger to be her husband. Now they have each saved the other; she from an overbearing fiancée and he from the gallows (as a train robber). Andrew decides to play along with the fake marriage.
After Andrew?s stay at the hospital, he and Beth travel with a pair of homeless boys, a pregnant young girl and a desperate cowboy. Each has a story that unfolds as the story progresses.
As the group travels together, they form a family (of sorts). However, trouble is looking for them and it doesn?t take long for the family to bump into it. Beth?s ex-fiancée is threatening to kill Andrew; Madeline gets terrible news in Fort Worth; Colby, the cowboy, is still trying to escape the men who tried to kill him in Dallas.
The two young brothers are shaken by the news that their father isn?t in Fort Worth. What will they do now?
Before the final curtain, the three McMurray men, Sage and Drum Roak have all been involved in this story. It was wonderful to see them again!
This book is well-plotted, the characters are complex and interesting and there?s a mystery afoot ? to round out the story. Enjoy!
