Wild Sweet Wilderness

An ambitious young woman fights to survive on the open frontier in this historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

“The undisputed grand master of the frontier novel.” —RT Book Reviews

No man’s slave!

Berry was only eighteen—and a fresh-mouthed kid—when she left the wagon train to find her father’s claim in Missouri. She was happy to be free from her father’s tyranny. But now with only her gentle young stepmother beside her, she faced an unforgiving frontier—and the trappers and rivermen, riffraff and savages who stood between her and her land.

Quick with a musket and slow to believe in a man, Berry was determined to prove she was a match for them all—even the brave, hard-working trader who fell in love with her, temper and all, in the wild sweet wilderness.
