Not one to jump into anything with a hot head, Trace gives the disguised man a chance to explain himself. But his heart right bottoms out when he realizes this stunning woman is actually a man. His heart sinks when he realizes this is the mail order bride Trace’s meddling father has arranged for Trace’s younger brother, Clovis. She stirs in him feelings he’s never felt for a woman before-and she’s bold as brass in the face of her would-be attackers. When Trace catches sight of a group of nere-do-wells from out of town accosting a beautiful woman from the wagon train, Trace is compelled to step in. It’s close enough to stay in touch with his family, but far enough to lead the quiet life he now yearns for…and just the right distance from a wagon train stop to provide him a means for his, well, more personal needs. While he didn’t mind the fighting, when he was put out of commission with a shot to the leg, Trace embraced the role of Sherrif in the town of Flatbottom, New Mexico.

But the constant authoritarian attitude and inflexibility drove Trace to seek adventure by joining the army. To stay alive, Robbie has to maintain the fiction that he is Rowena…a mail order bride for one of the Crabtree sons.Īfter his mother abandoned the family years ago, Trace Crabtree tried to be forgiving of his father’s rough edges.

The Bowry Boys won’t give up on their search for a man named Robbie Riverton, not for time or distance. Miraculously, the rouse works on the road and he’s able to continue his journey.

Stuck in in the worst possible of situations, Robbie assumes the discarded clothing, name, and manners of a fellow passenger who recently peeled off the wagon train-a passenger named Rowena. His hopes are dashed when the pernicious pursuers come pounding after the wagon train. With any luck, his pursuers will lose interest or assume he’s left for good and Robbie can quietly return to his city. Hopping on the first wagon train heading west and just disappearing seems like the better option-better than staying in the city and being murdered himself. But Robbie has to sacrifice it all when he inadvertently bears witness to a local criminal organization, the Bowry Boys, committing a murder. Fame is so close, he can almost taste it. Having worked his way up from nothing, Robbie Riverton is finally hitting his stride on the stages of New York. Audiobook Buy Links: Amazon/Audible | iBooks
