The Chisholm Trail Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo

Stubborn Hearts Clash on a Cattle Drive  Eliza Gentry’s pursuit of marriage to the son of her family’s sworn enemy has cost her greatly. Furious at his daughter’s choices, her father sends her off with the cattle drive heading toward Fort Worth and the Barnhart ranch, but under the watchful eye of Wyatt Creed, a Pinkerton man he has hired to see to her safety. With danger at every turn—not the least of which to his heart—can Wyatt Creed keep his focus with Eliza Gentry around? Is the Chisholm Trail a place for falling in love or a place to die at the hands of cattle thieves?

This book begins when Eliza is twelve.  What happens on the Chisholm Trail when she's 12 affects the rest of her life.  Wyatt has been in love with Eliza all his life.  Eliza is very strong willed and determines that she is going to marry someone her dad disapproves of.  Her dad sends her away from the ranch and hires a private security firm to keep her safe and her boyfriend away.  This is the adventures of Eliza as she discovers what true love is.  Also, the dangers that she encounters along the way.
