Jane - The Modern Miss and the Preacher's Mighty Conundrum Juliet James

The final instalment in the Come-By-Chance saga! When Jane Waters comes pedaling into town, she cycles slap bang into corruption, catastrophe, and some increasingly curious conundrums - not to mention, right on into the heart of the beloved Come-By-Chance preacher, Ernest James Coy. For Jane, a modern late 19th Century woman, marriage is something she must avoid at all costs. Her heart belongs to her calling, for Jane is a writer - and no mere man can be allowed to stand in the way of that. Not even such a good man as the Come-By-Chance preacher. As for Ernest Coy himself, he sees the new woman in town as the wildest, most dangerous, and wonderful woman he's known. But these are dangerous times, and the preacher must face, not just one, but two mighty conundrums - conundrums that threaten the future of not just himself, not just Jane Waters, and not just the Come-By-Chance townsfolk. No, this time, the evil Slim Jim Murdoch might well destroy the lives of everyone in the Montana Territory - and perhaps, in time, even the entire country. A timeless story of the importance of love and respect - and the difficult choices good people must make, when faced with evil incarnate.
