Another Amazing Book from Patricia Potter!
Nicholas Braden and Morgan Davis are identical twins, separated at birth. Because one is wanted for murder and the other one is a Texas Ranger, their lives intersect. Neither knows of the other?s existence.
Ranger Morgan Davis has already had 2 attempts on his life (by bounty hunters) because he is so identical to this man, Nicholas Braden. So, he sets out to find the accused murderer ? all the way to Wyoming.
This is a rather common plot line but Potter turns it on its head with an amazing array of character studies. As a newborn, Morgan Davis was found in the cellar of a burning cabin, everyone else was dead. He was raised with Texas Rangers and he saw the world in black or white, good or bad.
Nicholas was raised with a band of Gypsy-like nomads who had a travelling Medicine Show. He?s relaxed and loves life; he has a great sense of humor. When accused of murdering an unarmed young son (of the town?s cattle baron), Nicholas escapes to Wyoming, starting a ranch, along with his sister Lorilee.
Morgan finds Nicholas and Lorilee in Wyoming and immediately heads them back to Texas. Thus begins a fascinating study of the 3 characters. Lori and Nicholas are constantly probing to find Morgan?s weaknesses ? and find none! Lori eventually figures out that she is attracted to Morgan ? and the feeling is mutual.
This is a powerful story and it makes fascinating turns all the way to the epilogue. This story is well worth the time to read the 430+ pages. 5 stars.
