Meg Pero has been assisting her photographer father since she was big
enough to carry his equipment, so when he dies she is determined to take
over his profession--starting with fulfilling the contract he signed to
serve on an Army survey of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1871.
What she doesn't realize is that the leader of the expedition is none
other than the man she once refused to marry.
Captain Ben
Coleridge would like nothing more than to leave without the woman who
broke his heart, but he refuses to wait even one more day to get
started. This survey is a screen for another, more personal mission, one
he cannot share with any member of his team.
As dangers arise
from all sides, including within the survey party, Meg and Ben must work
together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle
a love that neither had completely left behind.

About The Author
Regina Scott started writing
novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, she
didn't actually sell her first novel until she had learned a bit more
about writing such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot. After
numerous short stories and articles in magazines and trade journals, she
got serious about her novel writing. The Unflappable Miss Fairchild was
her first novel to be published (March 1998).
Besides her
novels, Regina Scott has had published three Regency novellas ("The June
Bride Conspiracy" in His Blushing Bride, "Sweeter Than Candy" in A
Match for Mother, and "A Place by the Fire" in Mistletoe Kittens). Two
of her novels, A Dangerous Dalliance and The Twelve Days of Christmas,
have been translated into German. A Dangerous Dalliance and The
Incomparable Miss Compton have been translated into Italian. Starstruck
and Perfection have been translated into Dutch.
Regina Scott and
her husband are the parents of two sons. They reside in the Tri-Cities
of southeast Washington State and are members of the Church of the
Nazarene. Born in 1959 and raised in the Seattle area, Regina Scott is a
graduate of the University of Washington. She comes by her writing
talent naturally--both her parents are excellent writers in their
vocations as teacher and electrical technician. Her mother envisioned
the plot for "Sweeter Than Candy," the novella which was written as a
tribute to her.
Regina Scott is a devout Christian and a decent
fencer; owns a historical, fantasy, and science fiction costume
collection that currently takes up over a third of her large closet; and
has been known to impersonate an independent consultant specializing in
risk communication.

My Review
The author gives us a story, that quickly became a page-turner, and
historical as the Army is looking for routes to travel to expand this
country.
Our main girl is a photographer, and she at times takes her
life in her hands as she hangs over the Grand Canyon, she is getting the
perfect shot, one that will support her.
There is a couple of love
stories here, one is sweet, and enduring, even with a few bumps, the
other has let someone put a damper on it.
We see the God given beauty
in this country through the eyes of these characters, and learned a few
facts about the canyon that I didn’t know.
There is danger here, and not only from Mother Nature, someone is willing to stop at nothing to stop this expedition.
A book that kept my attention and reading late into the night!
I received this book Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
