In RESCUE ON THE RIO, Rush Garrett is hired by his friends, Cooper and Hallie Jerome (from book one), to find Hallie's sister, Lilah Parker, and persuade her to return to Oregon with him. The sisters parted ways twenty years earlier and Hallie longs to be reunited with her only sibling. Lilah yearns for her family, but in her infrequent letters to her sister, she has lied about her occupation. Her sister believes her to be a seamstress, when, in truth, she is a wealthy man's mistress. Lilah's shame and fear that she will be disowned by her loved ones, causes her to reject the offer of Mr. Rush Garrett of his escort to Oregon. However, fate has other plans and plenty of adventure waiting for these less-than-likely lovers
