The Scarlet Pen

Has Emma Draycott Been Hoodwinked by a Cunning Charmer?

Secret Service agent Clay Timmons arrives in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, in 1876 to track purchases made with fake currency. Every trail leads back to Stephen Dee Richards—and therefore, Emma Draycott.

Emma has a soft spot for underdogs like Stephen and soon agrees to marry him.

But within a week, he leaves to “make his fame and fortune.” The heartbroken Emma gives him a special fountain pen to write to her, and Stephen does with tales of grand adventures.

Clay is soon in hot pursuit of Richards, crisscrossing Nebraska and Iowa. Can Clay convince Miss Draycott she is engaged to a charlatan who is now being linked to several deaths out west before Stephen returns to seal their vows?
