The setting is Simpson Creek, Texas, July 1868, and Violet Rose Alicia Brookfield and her brother, Edward, Viscount Greyshaw, have just arrived via stagecoach; a stagecoach that, according to Edward, has hit every rut and bump from Indianola on the Gulf coast to Simpson Creek.  If it were not for Violet’s near ruination and disgrace at the hands of
