EPILOGUE

Christmas Day, 1885

Esmeralda Sparrow retired to her room with a sigh. This had been the best Christmas of her life. Drake and Gina had been married in a lovely ceremony with the entire resort in attendance. Gina had made a beautifully radiant bride and Esme had never seen the solemn mesmerist smile so much in all the time he’d been here. They were truly soul mates, and she had done the right thing in bringing them together.

In return, Esme had the only Christmas present she needed. She polished the pistol to a mirror-bright shine and laid it carefully in her hope chest, staring down at it with a smile and dawning hope of her own.

One down, four to go. . . .
