Where was the editor for this book? There were a huge number of misspelled words and words that had been transposed in the sentence. I also grew weary of hearing Miki Lassiter, heroine, referred to as innocent-- even after she wasnt innocent anymore. I believe this book could have been shortened by at least 50 pages; there was so much redundancy especially the sex scenes. The last chapter was totally extraneous.

Miki has had a rotten life since her mother died; her father drank and gambled away her inheritance. Before long, she was earning the money that sustained the family. Before this story has begun, Mr. Lassiter was selling tonics (and drinking away the profits) while riding (with his daughter) in a wagon; they had traveled over several states. Miki was weary of her constantly moving life; she wants stability and a home of her own.

To that end, Miki and her father have come to the Oklahoma Territory to race for free land. The government has taken the Indians promised lands and prepared to give them to white settlers.

Handsome Cale Brolin saw Miki racing her horse Sundance across the prairie during an electric storm; when he saved her, Miki was unappreciative of his efforts. In fact, the two combatants were like oil and water. It takes them a long time to find a middle ground.
