Wild Sweet Wilderness

Berry was only eighteen--and a fresh-mouthed kid--when she left the wagon train to find her father's claim in Missouri. She was happy to be free from her father's tyranny. But now with only her gentle young stepmother beside her, she faced an unforgiving frontier--and the trappers and rivermen, riffraff and savages who stood between her and her land. Quick with a musket but slow to believe in a man, Berry was determined to prove that she was a match for them all--even the brave, hard-working trader who fell in love with her, temper and all, in the wild sweet wilderness.
