After living an opulent life with her aunt for the last few years, the last thing twenty-five-year-old Isabella Garcia wants is to have to celebrate Christmas in the small silver-mining town her father and mother founded in the desert. She'd rather stay in California with the handsome Diego Morales who is courting her. Isabella is further miffed to have to bear the company of Aaron Bailey, a businessman with the Santa Fe Railroad, whom her father has sent to escort her safely home. Aaron finds Isabella spoiled, and she finds him judgmental.
But she is surprised to see how much the town of Silver Veil has grown and how fragile her father's health has become. Then Diego shows up with news that her aunt has died. Isabella is saddened by the loss of not only her aunt, but also her place of escape.
Faced with all these changes, she struggles to sort through her future and who she wants to be. But trouble is brewing, and there are those who hope Isabella stays just as she is, even if it costs her everything.
My thoughts:
This is another
wonderfully written and thoroughly researched novel penned by Ms. Peterson. I
have loved her work for quite some time, she never disappoints as far as I am concerned,
she keeps getting better. This is the
second book in her Love on the Santa Fe series and is just as good as the first
book, which you should also read.
I loved the story of
Isabella Garcia, she is a bit headstrong, so that can be good, but can have
consequences, too. I enjoyed visiting
the small mining town and getting to know the Garcia family at he same time.
I received a copy
from the publisher through Netgalley. Opinions are my own.
