BOOK- A WORTHY PURSUIT-A teacher on the run. A tracker in pursuit. Can Charlotte and Stone learn to trust each other before they both lose what they hold most dear? Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. He never comes home empty-handed. So when a wealthy railroad investor hires him to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly accepts.
Charlotte Atherton, former headmistress of Sullivan's Academy for Exceptional Youths, will do anything to keep her charges safe, especially the orphaned girl entrusted to her care. Charlotte promised Lily's mother she'd keep the girl away from her unscrupulous grandfather, and nothing will stop Charlotte from fulfilling that pledge. Not even the handsome bounty hunter with surprisingly honest eyes who comes looking for them.
When Miss Atherton produces documentation that shows her to be Lily's legal guardian, Stone must reevaluate everything he's been led to believe. Is she villain or victim? Then a new danger forces Charlotte to trust the man sent to destroy her. Stone vows to protect what he once sought to tear apart. Besides, he's ready to start a new pursuit: winning Charlotte's heart.

BRAVO! What a great story; I enjoyed every minute of it. Not only are Stone and Charlotte outstanding people all on their own but Lily, Stephen and John as well. They are children but each one had such unique personalities and skills. There are interesting people who surround both Charlotte and Stone. They add to the story without adding any confusion. There was also adventure to be found as Charlotte and the children fight to outwit their enemies. When Stone finally realizes Charlotte is telling the truth, he comes on board to help them. He is not only drawn to Charlotte but the children as well. Both Stone and Charlotte lean on their faith in God as Charlotte tries to find out if she can really count on Stone. She's had a long history of hurts and betrayals and she has a long way to go before she can really open her heart to another man. She loves those kids though; freely and fiercely and will do just about anything to protect them. She'd do just about anything she needed to do to protect Lily; even learn to trust Stone. Some of the coping skills that Charlotte used were easy to believe. I love the cameo touching and skirt smoothing to name a few. He just keeps chasing her (pursuing) gently breaking down the barriers. She also managed to be quite helpful in many different dangerous situations even when she often thought that there was little she could do. The kids and Charlotte worked so well together as a team. Something that made me smile was Lily and her enthusiastic relish for the novels about Dead-Eye Dan. The romance between Stone and Charlotte was charming, as I watched it develop. A clean story, with faith in God, romance and plenty chances of good to overcome evil.
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
