The Major's Daughter

by Regina Jennings

Overview

Caroline Adams returns to Indian Territory after tiring of confining society life. She wants adventure, and when she and her friend Amber come across swaggering outlaw Frisco Smith, they find his dreams for the new territory are very persuasive. With the much-anticipated land run pending, they may just join the rush.

Growing up parentless, all Frisco Smith wanted was a place to call his own. It's no wonder that he fought to open the Unassigned Lands. After years of sneaking across the border, he's even managed to put in a dugout house on a hidden piece of property he's poised to claim.

When the gun sounds, everyone's best plans are thrown out the window in the chaos of the run. Caroline and Frisco soon find themselves battling over a claim--and both dig in their heels. Settling the rightful ownership will bring these two closer than they ever expected and change their ideas of what a true home looks like.

Jennings (The Lieutenant’s Bargain) returns to 1889 Oklahoma Territory in this excellent third installment to the Fort Reno series. When President Harrison signs an order opening up 3,000 square miles of prairie to homesteaders, 21-year-old Caroline Adams is determined to get her own piece of land. Frisco Smith, a roguish frontiersman turned lawyer, has his own plans and has already divvied up plots in a town he plans to settle. After Caroline stakes her claim near Frisco’s proposed site, she discovers that the land already has a garden and a house. Frisco, who was a “boomer” working this plot of land, is unable to legally contest Caroline’s claim. He instead goes to work defending settlers’ rights, but remains determined to get Caroline to switch claims. As the pair spend more time together trying to settle the ownership claim, Frisco falls in love with more than Caroline’s land. Caroline, meanwhile, seeks the solace of God’s word as she struggles with loneliness on the prairie and with trying to resolve things with Frisco. Fans of Tracie Peterson will enjoy Jennings’s fine romance that mines the adventure and challenges of life in the Old West. (Dec.)
