Is it possible for one little girl to survive against all odds? Nobody said that pioneer life would be easy- but Rose never could have guessed how difficult it would truly be, or how strong she would have to be to get through it. She had come out West to settle down with her family- but all it did was tear them apart. Her mother did not make it to their new home out West, and her father seems more focused on his bottles of alcohol and his grief than on his daughter. But Rose is determined to not just survive, but to turn this new land into a real, true home. Just when she gets a bit of hope, the whole world seems to come crumbling down atop of her, and Rose suddenly finds herself facing the dangers of settling out West completely alone. She struggles to cope with the realities of pioneer life- opportunities, grief, hope and danger- and finds that there may be even more to this new life than she first thought.

The gift she never wanted... Since Katrina Landon was a young girl, she has always had the gift of forewarnings. Usually this sight has never disrupted her life. Until now. The wealthy father she has never known wants to meet her, but she has to travel from the slums of London through the Amazon rainforest to his plantation in order to get an inheritance. But her premonitions are warning her of the dangers ahead. If only her gift could tell her more about the handsome guide, Mr. Knightly, who immediately stirs her temper...and her interest. Felix Knightly isn't looking forward to escorting a spoiled rich girl through the jungle no matter how much her father pays. Yet when he meets her, he finds Katrina's distracting innocence and charming demeanor unsettling. He's not certain what to think about the sudden forewarnings she keeps giving. He'd rather fight off the fire ants, howler monkeys, and crocodiles than risk losing his heart to her, since he's never met a wealthy woman who is honest. As they delve deeper into the shadows of the rainforest, they discover they weren't just wrong about each other, they were wrong about the dangers of the jungle. Someone wants them dead and they have to find out who and why before it's too late.
