A distance too grand

A distance too grand

Regina Scott, 1959-

eBook - 2019

Meg Pero has been assisting her photographer father since she was big enough to carry his equipment, so when he dies she is determined to take over his profession--starting with fulfilling the contract he signed to serve on an Army survey of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1871. What she doesn't realize is that the leader of the expedition is none other than the man she once refused to marry. Captain Ben Coleridge would like nothing more than to leave without the woman who broke his heart, but he refuses to wait even one more day to get started. This survey is a screen for another, more personal mission, one he cannot share with any member of his team. As dangers arise from all sides, including within the survey party, Meg and Ben... must work together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle a love that neither had completely left behind.

Review by Booklist Review

Meg Pero is a skilled photographer who craves adventure over domesticity. But securing a photography job with a U.S. Army survey expedition is complicated at every turn, thanks to Ben Coleridge, Army captain and Meg's spurned former lover. Handsome military engineer Ben is leading the effort to map a settlement route across the Grand Canyon, while solving the mystery behind his father's disappearance. Meg's irresistible presence rekindles their old attraction with new intensity. When the expedition is sabotaged, they will need to cross the distances of time, careers, and expectations to find answers and love again. Scott dazzles in the opening to her exciting new American Wonders Collection. Set in 1871 at Fort Wilverton, Arizona, A Distance Too Grand takes place in the Grand Canyon with sweeping vistas and picturesque scenes serving as the backdrop to a gripping plot. There is an easy rapport among supporting characters, and the protagonists' coy exchanges will leave readers both entertained and enamored. Scott includes fascinating details about the history of landscape photography, while the grandeur of the canyon contrasts sharply with Ben and Meg's laser-focused awareness on the threats they face and their reawakened desire, resulting in both a saucy tone and suspenseful thrills.--Kate Campos Copyright 2010 Booklist
