Riding Against the Wind
Frank Richardson
When Evangeline Brennan's family farm teeters on the brink of ruin, she makes a desperate disguise herself as a boy and become a Pony Express rider. As "Evan Brennan," she conquers the most dangerous trails in the West, proving herself faster and braver than any man on the line.
Captain Nathaniel Thorne left the cavalry to escape the ghosts of a massacre he couldn't prevent. As superintendent of the Pony Express western division, he's found a new purpose—until a mysterious young rider awakens feelings he never expected. Confused by his growing attraction to the fearless "boy," Nate struggles with emotions that challenge everything he knows about himself.
But the frontier keeps no secrets forever.
When a violent ambush forces the truth into the open, Nate discovers that the rider who's captured his heart is a woman of extraordinary courage. As their forbidden love ignites against the backdrop of a nation splitting apart, they must navigate treacherous trails, corrupt enemies, and the rigid conventions of 1860s society.
From the dusty relay stations of the Great Plains to the snow-choked passes of the Sierra Nevada, from Lincoln's election to the final legendary ride carrying the president's inaugural address, Eva and Nate's romance unfolds during the last glorious days of the Pony Express—an era when the West was wild, love knew no boundaries, and two brave hearts dared to ride against the wind.
