Logger in Petticoats

Book Five in the Halsey Brothers' Steamy Historical Western Romance Series

Hank Halsey thought he'd hired the perfect logging crew—until he discovers one of his cooks would rather swing an axe than stir a pot. Determined to keep order in camp, Hank is set on proving Kelda Nielsen belongs in the kitchen. Trouble is, the more he pushes, the more she gets under his skin… and into his thoughts.

Kelda Nielsen has spent her life felling trees and proving she can outwork any man alive. She won't be told where she belongs—especially not by a stubborn, broad-shouldered logger who insists on treating her like a lady. Yet something about Hank makes her wonder if there's more to being a woman than she's ever allowed herself to want.

When Kelda secretly hires a replacement cook so she can keep working in the timber, her deception risks everything. Because out in the wild, trust is as fragile as a falling tree—and just as dangerous.

As sparks fly and tempers clash, Hank and Kelda must decide what matters more: pride… or the kind of love that refuses to be tamed.
