    About this ebook

    On the Oklahoma plains in the late nineteenth century, a farmer's daughter has done the unthinkable. She has fallen in love with a Cowboy. 

    At a time when Farmers and Cattle ranchers are constantly squabbling over rights to land and water, Emily Porter and Gideon Elison have managed to set aside their differences and form a strong bond. Emily's father has even come to approve of the match, despite the protests of Ben Johnson, a neighboring farmer who believes Elison to be unworthy of Emily's hand. 

    But, when the Porter's farm is ravaged by a cattle herd, Emily's father is convinced that Gideon is behind it. He withdraws his consent from their courtship. Emily, still desperately in love with Gideon, is determined to prove his innocence. But, she has no evidence and no way to convince her father that someone else was behind the crime. What's more, with a hearing drawing closer, Emily is running out of time. Can she save her fiance from her father's wrath? Can she save her father's farm from sure destruction? Or, will she discover that both have fallen beyond repair.

    A Standalone Short Story with no cliffhanger!

      The Range War

      Chapter 1

      Ihear the men’s voices before I rush to the window to see them. I shouldn’t rush, really. There’s no need any longer. I know exactly who my Father is speaking to on our deck. And, I know what they are speaking about.

      I rush to the window anyway, if only to confirm my suspicions. As I do, a very familiar and welcome voice meets my ears.

      It’s the third time this week! he says angrily. The first time I was prepared to overlook it. It may have been a simple misunderstanding. But now, there’s no mistaking that it’s deliberate.

      Though his words carry venom, I can’t help but smile as I stare out the window at Gideon Elison. The man I hope one day to marry. Even when his face is red with anger and his dark brown eyes are glaring daggers, he’s the most handsome figure I have ever seen.

      I was under the impression, a lazy, high-pitched voice retorts, that I could put fences where I liked on my land.

      This voice is far less welcome. Fred Johnson’s son, Ben, is staring back at Gideon, wearing that horribly smug smirk that never seems to leave his face.

      It is not your land and you know it, Gideon retorts moving towards Johnson.

      Boys, my father says, coming between them. Father has always been the peacekeeper between the farmers and the cattlemen. It was that way before I was born. He’s the one the men go to when they would rather not deal with a courtroom.

      There is no reason both of you cannot be reasonable about this. Now, Ben, where exactly did you set up this fence? he asks.

      It’s just a simple one, Ben says. It’s on the edge of our farm.

      It’s just over the edge of your farm, Gideon growls. And, it’s blocking my herd’s path to the stream.

      I’m not sure whether to laugh or shake my head when I hear the threat in Gideon’s voice. It has always been easy to get him riled. It’s gotten him into a good deal of trouble on more than one occasion.

      The stream was supposed to be on my father’s property, Ben insists. The only reason it isn’t is because your Father was friendly with the judge.

      That’s not- Gideon begins, his voice rising. He steps closer towards Ben.

      Regardless, Father says, putting out a hand to stop Gideon's movement. According to the law, the land belongs to the Ellison ranch. Ben, you’ll have to tell your father to move the fence.

      It will not be that easy, Ben says. He’s crossed his arms and he’s now staring at Pa with a sullen look on his long face.

      You said that the fence was small, Father reasons. You won’t have to move it far. Just to the other side of the stream.

      Ben continues to stare at Father and Gideon for a long while. Then, an all too familiar smirk crosses his face. My heart constricts and I know what Ben is going to say next.

      The thing is, Ben says slowly. "I’m not altogether sure if that’s what
