Feisty school teacher Tori Henderson values her independence and has no use for a husband. When she finds herself the legal guardian of her two nieces, two nephews, and facing eviction from her Kansas home, she enters the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run and confronts a new set of challenges. The biggest obstacle being her new neighbor, cocky lawyer Jesse Cochran, the son of a whore—a man determined to put his past behind him and start a new life and family of his own.

Despite the undeniable attraction between them, Tori is determined to keep him at arm’s length, but a family emergency brings them together and they declare a truce. Can Jesse win Tori’s heart after a series of unplanned events, or will tragedy tear them apart forever?

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!! January 5, 2012

By Sharon K. Sala

Format:Kindle Edition

I sat down to read this late in the evening and found myself immediately caught up in the story. Being from Oklahoma, I'm always ready to read a story set in my state, and there have been many. This one was set during the time of the famous land run in Oklahoma. I've read many of those, as well. But the people in this book were so well written, and the story-line so engaging that this one stands out far and above for me.

The hardships that the hero and heroine faced were true and exciting. It wasn't so much about the race to get to land, but what happened after the claim was staked that brought the story to such life. I loved the heroine's grit and determination. The secondary characters were a true delight, but even better, Callie Hutton's gift for words was what set this story apart. She pulled me in with laughter and excitement and held me there until the last tear was shed and the sun set on the perfect happy-ever-after.

Well done, Callie Hutton!!! Can't wait for your next one and thank you for such a great read!!
