Highest Rank #2. (Published on Amazon. Six chapters available for review.) First impressions can often be wrong. Lori Forester's five older brothers raised her to ride like an Indian, shoot the head off a match with blinding speed, and hunt with skill and cunning, like a brother. Though, she also has the skills of a lady. In 1888, men challenge her will and create situations that test her fortitude. Her keen wit and beauty flock men to her, but only one gives her what the others don't - admiration for all her capabilities.
