Rascally Burke Jackson resorted to near-death bed scenes to get his way. He knew what it took to run his farm in this man's day and age. There is no way he could see his daughter managing the farm no matter what she thought. Delilah Jackson was a stubborn, wilful, redheaded wildcat that got no recognition as the boss's daughter. And her education did not cover any of the subjects necessary to run a cattle farm. Elias Chandler had been working on Jackson's Farm for the past several months - long before Lilah came home. One good thing about Burke Jackson was that he left Elias alone. Eli was still looking for the gambler with the white streak of hair that had supposedly kidnapped Rosemary, a woman he had offered to marry to protect her. The trouble was that Lilah in her tight pants [?] was stirring up things better left alone - something he hadn't bothered with in years. [Were pants tight in those there days??] Shem and Streak were Eli's right hand men who taught him the difference of cattle ranching out in the western territories and cattle farming in North Carolina. Farmers tended to raise their own feed supplies in the east. He soon learned that Lilah was all bluster, and maybe she could learn to flirt, when she drove out Pearly Mae and installed the Randall woman and her children at the Farm house. Suddenly the house was clean again. I am still trying to figure out the importance of Lance Beckett and Abigail Pindacross - other than the fact that he turned his fortune over to Beckett [and lost it?] Abbie being the young lady that he had fallen in love with only to surrender her to Lance. A very refreshing read - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - just have to find the follow stories to BECKETT'S FORTUNES - m
