Bostonian Katherine Dory accompanies her father and her fianc by rail through Colorado when a gang of outlaws kidnap her. Jesse McCallum was following these killers who murdered his father. By killing them he rescues Katherine.
She persuades him to escort her up the Sangre de Cristo Mouintains. As they journey together, they cannot resist their attraction for one another; Jesse and Katherine are "married" in a mountain ceremony; they make love right afterward. Her fianc finds her so as the dutiful woman she returns to her privileged lifestyle in Boston, but her heart and soul remains in the Rocky Mountains.
THE EAGLE AND THE DOVE is a fascinating Americana historical romance starring two people who their contemporaries would say are an unlikely pairing as she is a Boston Brahmin and he is a mountain man. Readers will wonder whether Katherine will marry her typecast upper crust snob of a fianc or return to the Rockies where she found the high of love. This well written though stereotypical mid nineteenth century romance highlights the purity of the wilderness vs. the contamination of the big city.
