A Changed Agent

By Tracey J. Lyons

Book Overview

When schoolteacher Elsie Mitchell meets rugged William Benton on a train platform in Albany, it appears they have nothing in common. He isn't the sort of fellow a proper young woman of the 1890s would ever speak to, much less become involved with. But when she arrives at her small town in the Adirondack Mountains, Elsie is offered a job as caregiver for this mysterious out-of-towner's niece and nephew, who've been tragically orphaned. Heartbroken for them, she accepts. Unknown to her, William is an undercover Pinkerton agent posing as a lumber-company foreman. He's never wanted family--his work is too dangerous. Yet as Elsie transforms his house into a home and he spends time with the children, he feels drawn to family life--and to Elsie. As a good Christian, Elsie is troubled by William's secrets...though she does find him intriguing. And when a sinister figure from her past arrives, Elsie and William will have to trust in faith and newfound love to protect their unlikely family from danger.

Cute Story

A Changed Agent by Tracey J. Lyons is number one in her Adirondack Pinkertons series. Schoolteacher Elsie Mitchell agrees to help William Benton with the care of his niece and nephew. Posing as a lumber-company foreman, Will, an undercover Pinkerton agent, is there try to find a thief. As Elsie grows to love the kids her heart grows closer to their uncle. But he seems to be hiding something from her. This is one of those stories where when the heroine finds out what the hero has been hiding from her that she gets really upset and uncommunicative. And won’t see that he couldn’t tell her because of his job. It wasn’t that big a deal to me. Otherwise the story was good with a little suspense thrown in for good measure. I received this book from Just Reads for my honest review.
