Bookroo's summary

In the rugged Northwest, Jane Peck thrives far from Philadelphia's society. But when her old rival, Sally Biddle, arrives in Shoalwater Bay, Jane's world is upended. As the charming Biddles infiltrate her community, Jane faces losing everything she cherishes, including her true love. Can Jane protect her happiness from this unexpected threat?

From the publisher

Fans of Boston Jane: An Adventure and Boston Jane: Wilderness Days will revel in the rip-roaring adventure, romance, and humor of this spectacularly spirited and satisfying conclusion to New York Times bestselling and three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Jennifer L. Holm’s acclaimed historical fiction trilogy. Seventeen-year-old Jane Peck is the darling of Washington Territory–more at home in a primitive pioneer settlement in the rugged Northwest than she ever was in the refined world of Philadelphia society. She’s outwitted wild animals, vengeful ghosts, and a disloyal fiance, but when her finishing school nemesis Sally Biddle invades Shoalwater Bay, Jane discovers that the most dangerous thing on the frontier might just be an impeccably dressed debutant. As the Biddles charm their way into her close-knit community, Jane finds everything she holds dear threatened–including her true love! Will Jane’s claim on happiness slip away?
