*Book Two in the Gentleman's Proposal Series*
Josephine's life has always been controlled by those around her. After her new husband leaves her bereft and alone, she decides to finally do something about her suffocating existence. On impulse, she flees to America and starts a new life, one filled with adventure and danger. When her sorry excuse of a husband shows up again, intending to take her back to England, she puts her foot down; she absolutely, unequivocally will not return.
When Reginald Browning, Earl of Whitehall, goes to obtain his estranged wife from America, he does not find the young woman who left him years ago. Instead, he finds a new Josephine: the gunslinging star of a Wild West traveling show.
He knows that he wrecked their marriage the first time around. But how can he hope to fix things when he can't even get his wife back onto English soil?
