It is a delightful caper complete with chase scenes, a strong female heroine, and a swoon-worthy hero. But, like most Witemeyer novels, A Worthy Pursuit is a worthy and charming read. The A Worthy Pursuit series consist of 1 historical books written by Karen Witemeyer. After all, it’s about a teacher on the run and a ruthless bounty hunter. The premise of this story seems a bit far-fetched at first. What they don’t expect, of course, is to end up trusting and loving each other. Stone realizes he must work with Charlotte to find a way out of this muddle. Instead, he finds a frightened but steely woman, protecting three marvelous children. But when he finally catches up with Charlotte, he doesn’t find the evil kidnapper that he is expecting. Stone is every bit his name – rugged, hard, and merciless. Lily’s wealthy grandfather has indeed hired a bounty hunter, Stone Hammond, to track Lily down. She decides to run away with the children so Lily can be safe. When the school suddenly closes, Charlotte fears that Lily’s dastardly grandfather is to blame. In 1891, Texas, Charlotte Atherton, headmistress at Sullivan’s Academy for Exceptional Youths, becomes legal guardian to Lily, a spunky seven-year-old whose mother has died.
