It was the whispering which began to wake Katie; the quiet giggles and soft whispers of little girls involved in mischief, which first interrupted her beautiful dreams.
“Put it on her head now, Bunny,” a young voice whispered.
“No!” another quietly argued. “It should go ‘round her neck—like a necklace.”
“Hush! Both of ya!” yet another young voice scolded. “I made it, and I’ll decide where it goes.”
Katie opened her eyes slowly, for the clouds had left the sky and the brightness of the sun was nearly blinding. Raising a hand to shade her eyes from the brilliant light of midday, Katie looked up to see three identical faces smiling down at her.
“You’re trespassin’, lady,” one of the girls said. “But don’t ya worry—we purttied ya up a bit so’s Stover won’t be so mad.”
… “I’m…I’m Katie Matthews,” Katie stammered, uncertain as to what else she could say in response.
“Oh! Then you must be the daughter of that Matthews feller Stover bought this here land from,” Bonnie said. “Pleased to meet ya, Katie Matthews,” the girl added, smiling.
“Pleased to meet you, too,” Katie said.
…“What in tarnation are y’all up to?” At the sound of the angry masculine voice, Katie froze. Realization was quickly seeping into her mind. Realization she’d been caught trespassing by Stover Steele’s three triplet half-sisters, and by the sound of the deep voice hollering at them now, by Stover Steele himself.
“Why, nothin’ at all, Stove,” Berty said, shrugging her shoulders. “We just found this here flower princess asleep under a tree and thought ya might…”
“What’re ya goin’ on about, Berty?” the angry voice asked.
“Just this here flower princess, Stove,” Bunny said, pointing to Katie.
Katie quickly sat up, her mouth gaping open in astonishment as she saw the purple columbine blossoms that had been placed between each of her toes. Her skirt was simply covered with a blanket of daisy blooms and she reached up to find her hair had been loosened—a dandelion chain adorning her head.
PRAIRIE LIFE BROUGHT LITTLE EXCITEMENT AND EVEN LESS HOPE OF FINDING TRUE LOVE…UNTIL THE DAY HE ARRIVED…
For Katie Matthews life held no promise of true happiness. Life on the prairie was filled with hard labor, a brutal father, and the knowledge she would need to marry a man incapable of truly loving a woman. Men didn’t have time to dote on women—so Katie’s father told her. To Katie, it seemed life would forever remain mundane and disappointing—until the day Stover Steele bought her father’s south acreage.
Handsome, rugged and fiercely protective of four orphaned sisters, Stover Steele seemed to have stepped from the pages of some romantic novel. Yet, his heroic character and alluring charm only served to remind Katie of what she would never have—true love and happiness the likes found only in fairytales. Furthermore, evil seemed to lurk in the shadows, threatening Katie’s brightness, hope, and even her life!
Would Katie Matthews fall prey to disappointment, heartache and harm? Or could she win the attentions of the handsome Stover Steele long enough to be rescued?
