Cord Matthews sets his sights on the open Montana Territory when the War Between the States rips everything from him. Olivia Bartlett, the only woman he's ever loved, has been killed--a cross marks the place where she lies buried. Cord builds a new dream, but a ghost from his past won’t let him forget what his heart wanted most.
Olivia, forced to flee her Virginia home, finds new purpose as a nurse to the wounded at Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory. War and separation haven’t diminished her love for Cord Matthews, or her stubborn belief that he is coming for her. Danger threatens once more with the impending arrival of a new commander at Fort Laramie--a man who has already tried to kill her once. Olivia flees to Montana Territory, seeking refuge.
Reunited on the Montana frontier, can Cord and Olivia hold tight to their love and defeat the man who seeks to destroy them both?
What prompted you to write this particular story?
HOME FIRES was actually the first historical Western romance
I wrote. I had been living in the DC area
for about five years and was homesick for the West. Civil War history has always fascinated me,
and was my focus during my undergraduate studies, so I combined my love of
Civil War history and my love of Wyoming and Montana and moved Cord and Olivia
from the East to the West. Through this
couple, I could travel the trails of home and visit well-loved places while
adding a bit of danger and a whole lot of love.
Cord and Olivia helped me get through a rough time in my
life. They gave me something to look forward to and allowed me to go home for a
few hours a day. This couple and this
story will always hold a special place in my heart.

Awesome! I love Civil War history. Here's some more about Kirsten!
Kirsten Lynn writes stories based on the people
and history of the West, more specifically those who live and love in Wyoming
and Montana. Using her MA in Naval History, Kirsten, weaves her love of the
West and the military together in many of her stories, merging these two halves
of her heart. When she's not roping, riding and rabble-rousing with the cowboys
and cowgirls who reside in her endless imagination, Kirsten works as a
professional historian.
