Oregon Trail. March 1867 â€" Lucy's arresting features and gentle spirit attract Nat Renshaw's unwanted interest as he scouts for Lucy's wagon train.

FOOL'S NOTION
Missouri Mules are the best there is and Alda had grown to love the creatures as she worked side by side with her pa on their farm along the banks of the Missouri River. Her pa would be hopping mad when he realized his wife and daughter had colluded behind his back to sell a pack string. It didn't matter that they were trying to save the farm.
Alda had struck out on her own to drive the team over fifteen hundred miles. By day three, her lead mule Bessie had refused to take one more step. It was a good thing the handsome cowboy Cord had stopped by to lend a hand or Alda might still be sitting in the dust.
Now the man needed to move on so she could continue her journey. Judging by the spark in Cord's eye … it just might take some convincing.
