survived the Oregon Trail, but claiming a legacy would be their biggest
challenge yet…
Tainted Dreams
Sometimes, the end
justifies the means…
Kate Davis arrived into
Oregon City transformed from a pampered daughter of fortune into a determined
woman with a plan--fulfill her father's dream of starting a horse ranch in
Oregon Territory.
She quickly discovers a
harsh truth--even thousands of miles from home, on an unsettled land America
doesn't yet own or govern, gender still takes precedence over ability. Refusing
to be ruled once again by the stifling laws and societal norms she'd escaped by
leaving Virginia, Kate begins creatively claiming what is rightfully hers.
Until a visit to the land
office changes everything.
Jake Fitzpatrick guided
Kate across the Oregon Trail, and fell in love with her along the way. Now he
wants to marry her and build a life together, but a ruthless man from Jake's

hard to achieve.
