Publisher Description
“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.”

My Review:
I always enjoy Regina Scott’s books, and I think this is my favorite one yet. She does a wonderful job describing this expedition to the Grand Canyon and the dangers the group faced. I very much admired Meg, who was courageous and caring. She was one of the very few lady photographers in the 1871, and her adventures on this trip of photographing the Canyon where not always easy ones. There’s just the right balance of a little bit of suspense and romance in this story. I also liked the “hero” and leader of the expedition, Captain Ben Coleridge. He and Meg were a good match and I loved how he supported her desire to be a photographer.
I’ve had the opportunity to take a photography trip to the Grand Canyon, and this book hits just the right note in describing the wonder of the Canyon during a sunset or storm. I’m looking forward to reading more of this “American Wonders Collection” series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
Author of warm, witty historical romances
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Award-winning 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. Since her first book was published in 1998, her stories have traveled the globe, with translations in many languages including Dutch, German, Italian, and Portuguese. She has driven four in hand, learned to fence, sailed on a tall ship, and dressed as a Regency dandy, all in the name of research, of course. She and her husband of more than 30 years reside in the Puget Sound area of Washington State on the way to Mt. Rainier.
