"YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"
To a woman who was all fire, sass and temptation that was a hell of a hello! But army major Rafe Hunter had no choice. Karissa Baxter was a "Sooner" attempting to secure the homestead she wanted before the start of the Land Run, danger—and rules—be damned! But what about what he wanted? And what if what he wanted was her?
WHO DID RAFE HUNTER THINK HE WAS?
All spit and polish, and with Eastern money to boot! Unlike the hardscrabble types Karissa was used to, he could never understand what drove her to go after her dreams. So how had he managed to quick-march his way into her heart?

To me, this book is similar in subject to Carol Finch's STORMFIRE, which I read earlier this year. It is about a feisty woman who is trying to get a new start by winning good land in the Oklahoma Land Rush.
Major Rafe Hunter has the unenviable job of trying to catch the Sooners' (people trying to get the best lands available by claiming them before the Oklahoma Land Rush begins). A stickler for rules, he and his soldiers patrol the lands that will soon be available for the rush.
Karissa Baxter has had a hardscrabble existence. She is trying to get a free 160-acre plot of land for her brother and sister-in-law (Clint and Amanda who is pregnant). Karissa matches wits with the Major, trying to out-maneuver him.
However, there are land-grabbing villains afoot with more power than Karissa. She may win the battle, but will she win the war? Very average.
