A Husband for Matilda

Matilda “Matt” Berwyn, forced to live disguised as a boy in a mining town, longs to escape and blossom into the female she's always wanted to be. But her desire to leave Homestead Canyon escalates when she realizes she's being stalked.

Stockyard hand Zeke Hillerman knows Matt's secret and has fallen in love with her. He helps her flee to his parents’ home in the east to learn to be a lady, while he struggles to start his own ranch. As Matilda grapples with Victorian expectations of young women, Zeke’s plans for their future unravel, and he realizes that the cost of her ticket out of Homestead Canyon may have been his own heart.
