A brilliant engineer, Jilly Stiles has been educated since childhood to help run her father's dynasty. Now with the company safe after the marriages of her two sisters, Jilly can focus on her dream of building a mountaintop railroad--and never marry.
Nick Ryder came into Jilly's life when he saved her mother from her no-good stepfather, and he's prepared to protect Jilly from anything that threatens to harm her. Haunted by the pain of his own past, Nick is determined not to get his heart involved while protecting Jilly from losing her hard-won independence.
But when a cruel and powerful man goes to dangerous lengths to make Jilly his own, marrying Nick may be the only way to save herself and her herself and her dreams.

My thoughts:
What a powerful ending to this series! The sisters in this series have been such fun to meet and getting to know them was a pleasure. Not your typical ladies, given the time period, instead of needle point, afternoon teas and what one might expect, the sisters are strong minded, highly intelligent young women with skills and knowledge most men would love to have. I have been waiting for Jilly's story and I was not disappointed. She has been on the quiet side until now.
The author tied up this trilogy very nicely. I loved Nick from the beginning and was happy for his growth throughout the series and very happy to see the Lumbar Barron's Daughters finally get the lives and loves they deserve.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
