Saddle up for a wildly fun ride with the Wilde sisters!
Kylie Wilde is the youngest sister—and the most civilized. Her older sisters might be happy dressing in trousers and posing as men, but Kylie has grown her hair long and wears skirts every chance she gets. It’s a risk—they are homesteading using the special exemptions they earned serving in the Civil War as “boys”—but Kylie plans to make the most of the years before she can sell her property and return to the luxuries of life back East.
Local land agent Aaron Masterson is fascinated with Kylie from the moment her long hair falls from her cap. But now that he knows her secret, can he in good conscience defraud the U.S. government? And when someone tries to force Kylie off her land, does he have any hope of convincing her that marrying him and settling on the frontier is the better option for her future?
Kylie Wilde served 2 years In the cival war pretending to be a man now, her father has convinced her to homestead (even though all she wants is to live in the city, wearing dresses ) she has to continue to pretend to be a man if she wants to use her two year service time off her 5 years of homesteading. She’s been on the land for 6 months now and she’s ticking of the time she can sell it to her father and go back to “civilization”
Except Andrew Masterson the local land agent shows up and immediately figured out she was a girl. And as soon as he meets her older sisters, Shannon (the middlest)and Bailey(the oldest) he figures out the same thing, and he can’t figure out how they went so long with No one figuring it out.
I love how things are working out!!! I love the romance between Kylie and Andrew and I can’t wait to see what happens with her sisters and the guys they meet (from the characters I think I know who’s ending up with who and Mary said in her webcast the other week
That all the love interests we’re introduced in this book)
Did I mention that Mary is one of my favorite authors?? Cause she is:) so far I’ve loved everything I’ve read by her.
I Can’t wait for Now and Forever about Kylie’s older sister Shannon
