The Major's Daughter by Regina Jennings

Caroline Adams returns to Indian Territory after tiring of confining society life. She wants adventure, and when she and her friend Amber come across swaggering outlaw Frisco Smith, they find his dreams for the new territory are very persuasive. With the much-anticipated land run pending, they may just join the rush.

Growing up parentless, all Frisco Smith wanted was a place to call his own. It's no wonder that he fought to open the Unassigned Lands. After years of sneaking across the border, he's even managed to put in a dugout house on a hidden piece of property he's poised to claim.

When the gun sounds, everyone's best plans are thrown out the window in the chaos of the run. Caroline and Frisco soon find themselves battling over a claim--and both dig in their heels. Settling the rightful ownership will bring these two closer than they ever expected and change their ideas of what a true home looks like.

All Caroline wants to do is establish her independence and find out where she belongs.  The only way she can think of to do that is claim a piece of land in the Unassigned Lands.  The problem with that is she claims land that Frisco Smith has been wanting to build a city on.  They both won't give an inch on who the land belongs to.  As Caroline works her claim, she discovers things are not as they seem in the nearby town.  Frisco is still trying to get Carolyn to give up her land.  In the mean time, he is also trying to get to the bottom of things in the new town.

Overall, this was a good book.  I thought it was kind of slow in spots. But still a good book and worth the read.
