One of the reasons I love writing about the Wild West is because it was a place of great change. Towns sprang up overnight, and could become ghost towns just as quickly. Fortunes were made and lost on the turn of a card, or with a stroke of luck at a mine. Back East, people were divided by social structures and class. While that existed to an extent in the West, the barriers against moving up in the world were far easier to overcome. When it came to battling Mother Nature and outlaws, people were more likely to judge a man by his character than his bank account. The same was true for women. Necessity opened up professional opportunities that might have been closed off to women in more established cities.
Thatâs why I loved writing Carolineâs story. It was a great opportunity to dive into a character who had to overcome strict social and cultural mores to fulfil her dreams. I also loved the idea of Caroline having to find the one man who would support her. Who better than the outlaw Castillo, whoâs had to overcome his own share of bias and hardships, to support her in reaching her dream?
If youâd like to learn more about the obstacles women had to overcome in the past, research Elizabeth Blackwell (1821â1910). She is the first recognised female doctor in the United States. A great online resource is American Memory from the Library of Congress. It devotes a section of its website to womenâs history.

The problem with having two identities was that someone would eventually figure them both out. Castilloâs grandfather had told him that with a frown when heâd learned that Castillo had started running cattle. It had been about five years ago, but it looked as if the prediction had finally come to pass.
Castillo Jameson, aka Reyes, leader of the notorious Reyes Brothers, lowered the brim of his hat to shadow his face. It was too late, though. The man at the other end of the train car had already recognized him as the leader of the gang of outlaws, wanted for crimes committed much further south than Montana Territory. Castillo could tell it from the stiff set of the manâs shoulders and the way the manâs left hand had shifted to the armrest, holding it in a white-knuckled grip. He tried to keep his attention focused on the scenery out the window, but his eyes twitched back toward Castillo in a nervous glance.
