About this book

Lilly Gray Corbett loves living on Troublesome Creek, but she would much rather play with her best friend than watch her little brother and the twins. Her mama, Copper, is often gone helping to birth babies, and Lilly has to stay home. When Aunt Alice sends a note inviting her to visit in the city, Lilly is excited to go, and Copper reluctantly agrees to let her. Later, when they hear the news that the train crashed, Copper and her husband, John, rush to find out if their daughter is injured ... or even alive.

Charlotte McPherren

The Tomboy Ladies didn't wear men's pants or herd cattle, nor did they curse or sneak whiskey, but Willie Vaughn did. Growing up in a household of five men, Willie could steal a base, rope a cow, and hold her own in a brawl. But she never thought she'd have to learn to seduce a man until she met the handsome and dangerous Rider Sinclair. The Lieutenant Going undercover to unmask the Vaughan's arms smuggling, Rider was prepared to romance their only daughter. But nobody warned him about the infuriating pixie with the luscious figure and stubborn temper. And nobody warned Rider he might fall in love. He'd have to separate duty from desire if he was going to nab the gang's ringleader but he hated to risk losing the fiery hellcat who'd stolen his heart.
