Jane Peck is a nineteenth-century girl with a mind of her own and a handsome suitor who loves her for it. She's outwitted wild animals, vengeful ghosts, and a disloyal fiancé, but when her finishing school nemesis, Sally Biddle, invades the Washington Territory, Jane finds everything she holds dear threatened—including her true love, a rakish sailor named Jehu. As the Biddles of Philadelphia charm their way into Jane's frontier community, it will take all of the spunk and spit she can muster to protect her land and preserve her dreams. Will Jane's claim on happiness slip away?
