What to do when the horse you bought turn out to be a girl?

Lester, son of Lizzie, is now working in the northwest, and wants a beautiful horse more than anything else, since he is committed to a lifetime of bachelorhood. When he spends most all his money at an auction for a real beauty, then finds he has been tricked into buying a half-Indian girl instead, he is mortified to bring her back to town. He gives her to his beloved sister, Harmony, who then finds a friend who speaks the language to commit the girl to. Lizzie is bent on teaching the half-Indian girl the ways of the white man, which is no easy task. Lizzie and Brad are now running the Grant Hotel, since Rose has married her childhood sweetheart and moved to Fargo. Molly is married to the lumber foreman, Luke, and Melissa is married to the handsome town doctor. Both are expecting their first child. Harmony works as a nurse to the new doctor, and she spends extra time nursing to health a mean and evil man whom the Indian girl seems to know and is afraid of. Harmony finds herself attracted to this scallywag, wondering why. The Indian girl is re-named Joy, and quickly catches on to work, grooming, and the ways of the white man in the town. She is beautiful and she is a hard worker....and Lester sees her no longer as the purchase he was tricked into making, but an available and beautiful woman and makes her his bride. This book is the perfect setting for beginning book number 7 in the series!
