When defying your father means risking everything, including your life.
In 1867, twenty-one-year-old Jenny Baker has a choice: marry the man her wealthy St. Louis father has chosen or forge her own path in the untamed Colorado Territory. For a woman of Jenny's fierce independence and sharp mind, there's really no choice at all.
Armed with her grandmother's inheritance and unshakeable determination, Jenny heads west to carve out her own cattle ranch. But claiming her piece of the frontier means going head-to-head with Zechariah Thorne, a ruthless rancher who'll stop at nothing to control the entire valley, including driving out a stubborn woman who refuses to know her place.
As Thorne's intimidation escalates to outright theft and violence, Jenny must risk everything she's built to fight back. With her loyal crew and her brother Edwin by her side, she'll discover that sometimes the only way to win is to make your own rules.
From the drawing rooms of Missouri to the wild Colorado Territory, Prosperity is a gripping tale of courage, family, and the unbreakable spirit of a woman determined to write her own destiny.
A short story about a woman who dared to achieve what society deemed impossible in 1867: building her own cattle ranch.
