See all formats and editions

Cora Miller is fiercely independent and stubborn to a fault. Betrayed more than once by men she thought she could trust, she’s learned to rely only on herself. As the oldest of four siblings, she feels responsible for leading her family safely on the Oregon Trail for a new start.

Nathaniel Wilder is no stranger to the hardships and dangers of the wilderness. Raised with his brothers by a trapper in the remote mountains, he left behind the mistakes he’s made in the past. He’s been called reckless and irresponsible, but won’t hesitate to help someone in need.

A foolhardy mishap puts Nathaniel in the direct path of a stubborn, yet beautiful woman with fire in her eyes. Despite her refusal of help, he is determined to prove she can depend on him. When her pride puts her and her family in peril, Cora accepts that she can’t do it on her own. If misgivings can turn to trust, or even love, both Cora and Nathaniel could come out stronger in the end.

***Content Warning: This book contains mild language, mild violence, kissing, and physical initmacy with minimal description.

*** YELLOWSTONE LEGENDS, Book 8 in the Yellowstone Romance Series, is now available!

I never thought I'd be a writer, much less publish a book someday. I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I guess life just had other plans for me. When my husband and I decided to start a family, vet school pretty much went out the window. I used to work with a vet who had three children while going through vet school. To this day, she is my hero.

I was born and raised in Germany, but long before my family immigrated to the U.S., I was fascinated with the American West. I grew up on german-dubbed episodes of Little House, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza, as well as the adventure novels set in the old American West by German author, Karl May.

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, and we are living our dream in Yellowstone National Park. Not only do I get to write about this magical setting in many of my books, but I also get to live in this amazing place! Almost every summer since my husband and I graduated from high school, we have spent two weeks camping in Yellowstone National Park. It has felt like home for so long, and in 2017, we made that dream a reality!

I want to send a special thank you to all my readers. Thank you for taking the time to write reviews and to email me, leave messages on my blog, and find me on facebook. I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally. My email address can be found at the back of each of my books, and I will always make the time to respond. Thank you for making my journey as a writer such an awesome experience.

A heart warming story of a relocating family of women and a boy who were let down over and over by men. The ladies had to learn to trust men again. The plot was engaging ,the story setting put you right on the Oregon trail. The characters were authentic and made this a very enjoyable reading experience. Ms Henderson is a gifted writer and story teller. I recommend this book for everyone.

SURPRISINGLY PLEASANT READING

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my first Peggy L Henderson novel, and I was pleasantly surprised. The old wild west is also not a favourite genre, but it was a really pleasant read. There were some words left out or in the wrong place, which usually bothers me, but she spins such an absorbing tale that it did not distract from the interest in, or pull me out of, the story. All the characters were well drawn, with a feisty heroine and attractive, patient hero, as the main protagonists. The supporting cast were just that; supporting. So the reader gets to know them without their stealing the limelight! The plot was good and I felt the development of relationships were well described and timed. No rushing in build up between the main couple, nor blatant sex as a finale, which was refreshing. I liked it enough to buy the next one in the series, so I would certainly recommend it.

Great love story from Mrs Henderson. Out in the wilds with a woman who been scorned. She really is hard to get but her character Nathan works at it and over time prevails. I definitely enjoyed it. 5

When I read reviews I want this list of questions answered so that I can know if a book should be to my liking. Since these questions aren’t usually answered in reviews I figure it’s my job to do so.
Happily Ever After? Yes
Does the hero treat the heroine badly in the beginning? No
Does the heroine treat the hero badly in the beginning? No
If the answers for 2 or 3 are yes, then do they make appropriate amends for their bad behavior?
Is this book Christian? No
Are there sex scenes in this book? Yes
If there is sex, are the sex scenes explicit? No
Is the heroine a virgin? No
Is the heroine sexually assaulted? No but there are a handful of mentions about another character’s assault
Is the hero a virgin? Unknown
Is there non-romantic drama (as in a kidnapping, murder, feud, or other intrigue that isn’t centered on romance)? Yes
Is the end satisfying? Very
Is the book “icky” to modern ideals or sensibilities? (As in, a 15 year old marrying a 30 year old was acceptable in 1815 but might make a modern reader uncomfortable) No

Lacks depth; Quick read; Predictible love story

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

Basic love story along the Oregon Trail. I always like Cody Roberts' narrations, so this was enjoyable. The two main characters were somewhat developed, but the secondary ones needed more details. There were a lot of spots where additions to the story would have made it more than an okay read. Peggy Henderson's Second Chances Trilogy was the first of her novels that I read. This one did not even measure up to them. I would hesitate to recommend this book, although it would be a nice, short novel for a trip or beach read.

This is a quality read. A well told story, both in terms of art and craft. With unusually clean editing, it holds few distractions for the discerning reader to overcome. Nice character development, too. All in all, enjoyable. Buy one! And please remember to leave an honest review. I don't give five stars, ever, but this deserves a great rating.

A good story that try’s to give a reader a glimpse of what it may have been like to move Westward during the early years of this young country. A young woman, her sisters and young brother decided to leave Ohio after the death of their mother. There were unscrupulous men who tried to woo her for her parents land and she decided that the family would be better off traveling to the west for a new beginning. The family gets to the fort along the Mississippi River and again a unscrupulous man try’s to make her believe that he will help her and gets a fake marriage certificate so the family can join a group heading west. The man try’s to take the families money and abandon them, the young woman will not give him the money. The wagon train leader will not let the family travel with them any longer, so they are on their own. Another man comes upon them and eventually offers to help them, but having been deceived so many times, the young woman is not going to trust anyone. Overall, this story is a wonderfully clean and decent story. The story could very well be a true representation of what happened to a family traveling the Oregon trail.

Cora, Patrick,Josie and Caroline are all related and have a friend named Anna with them. They are on the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon. Cora was forced to marry Ted, but it wasn’t a real marriage he lied to her about the preacher, it was fake. He only did this so he could steal her money and anything else she had. He takes off and demanded his share of her money but she refuses.
Now the wagon master tells her she has to get married again even though she told him it was a lie. She takes off after the train leaves and followed them until the wheel broke and they went on without her.

Nathaniel lives in the mountain with his brothers and an old tracker. He lost his parents to river bandits as a young boy and that’s when the tracker took him in. He is on his way home when he has problems with the crow Indians who steals his horses, but he steals them back and on his way he stumbles across a wagon full of women and a young boy he knows that the crow will track him and stealing her horse is wrong but he does it to lead tracks away from the family. What he isn’t expecting is one of the women to follow him on her mule to get her horse back.

I enjoyed reading this story very good book

Not bad story, but bit boring. I have enjoyed the beginning and the end, but the middle was lengthy and going on and on on the same subject.
