In 1865 a young Chinese orphan leaves San Francisco to work on the transcontinental railroad and finds himself torn between his people's customs and the ways of the American frontier

Will their love change the past, or secure it? On a steam train trip to publicize her firm's proposed high-speed rail link, Penny Barton meets Fletcher Dawe, a historical actor playing a Coshocton dry goods merchant and railroad investor. She's fascinated with his period costume--and more--and is thrilled when he tells her he'll call. But when she's ordered to find him again for a client--or lose her job--it's like he never existed. Equally determined, Fletcher Dawe will complete his rail link on time despite sabotage and broken equipment. Yet when he tries to keep his promise to call on the beautiful stranger, he discovers no one in town has ever heard of her. Frustrated with her inability to locate Fletcher, Penny finds a photo of him in a local restaurant--dated 1855. He existed all right, a hundred and fifty years ago. When she digs into the history of the railroad, she learns that things were not as idyllic as they seem, and that his lockmaster, Dan Hudson, died trying to stop the train. And that not everyone was excited to welcome the fledgling railroad to town...
