"To escape her grievous past and avoid her bleak future, twenty-eight-year-old widow Victoria Clarke joins her friend, Isabella Bird, on a once-in-a-lifetime journey from England to America in 1854. But the man acting as escort to the women on their journey, New York lawyer Harrison Wright, is cold and gruff, and his mannerisms remind Victoria of her former husband's mistreatment. Harrison promised his friend, Isabella Bird, that he would escort her around his home country, but -- since Harrison has sworn off women due to his own troubled past -- he is not pleased Victoria will be joining the trip. But he's managed to build an impenetrable safeguard around his own heart that should withstand a few weeks in this other woman's company. As the trio explores America, surviving fires, disreputable innkeepers, sickness, and storms, Victoria and Harrison cannot avoid each other's company. But will their forced close proximity lead to stronger and more unavoidable feelings about each other? Is it possible their journey will have the most unlikely of destinations: love and healing -- and happily ever after -- with each other?"-- Provided by publisher.
