AUTHOR’S NOTE

Thank you for joining the Wilde sisters on one of their


adventures. Just a quick note regarding what you are about to
read
Please be advised the Wilde sisters are all grownups and
therefore they engage in in very adult escapades and situations
that include their romantic encounters as well as the sudden
violence that can occur in their continued fight against assorted
bad guys of the Old West.
So, in short, these stories are recommended for mature readers
of 18+ years of age.
With that said it’s time to saddle up and dive into the world of
Half Breed Haven!

From the journal of Catalina Wilde

1873

I
'll sure as sugar say this…I don't know even where to
begin with this here crazy week I just lived through! It
was supposed to just be a quiet time with me looking
after the ranch with Blue River's help while those big
sisters of mine were gone over Nevada way on business. After
they got back it sounded like a heck of a lot more cavorting
than business! Instead of the peaceful set of days I was
imagining it seems I wound up having my hands full with one
jasper after another. Mind you these were the most dangerous
kind of snakes you'll ever find. The kind that goes about
walking on two legs!
The things I saw and did are gonna be sticking with me for
a long time to come. This I know!
The sight of a woman whose beauty was battered away at
the hands of a coward who would raise a hand to a woman. A
farmhouse in flames and a family massacred. Then there was
that peaceful tribe of Yavapai facing slaughter. It wasn’t all bad
though. I saw a young woman’s slice of bravery that could hold
a candle right up there against anything we Wilde girls have
ever done.
Yeah, I sure did see a lot. Can still see it. My mind keeps a
spinning back to that there massacre. I’m sad to admit I’ve laid
eyes on more than my fair share of death up close ever since
we girls started helping our older sister, Cassandra. But then,
what I saw that day even now still shakes me up, and more so
after I found out just why this family had met their Maker in the
gruesome fashion I happened upon them.
It's plain as day, right before my eyes. That homestead
with the bodies scattered about the yard, the burning
farmhouse and then, of course, that poor fellow who come
running out, little more than a human torch. The Lord knows I
did what I could for him, and honestly, he was as good as dead
before I saddled up with him and rode away with him like all of
hell was on our tail. I had hoped that getting him back to town
might give him a tiny shot at being saved, but it actually turned
out bringing him back signed his death warrant! No way could I
have known that at the time, of course. But at least I eventually
saw justice was meted out nice and proper like.
And while all this was going on I still needed to find a way
to help my friends back in Alamieda who were in desperate
need of the kind of help we Wildes do best. Ruth Anne my
friend, was facing separation from her beau who was looking at
hard labor in prison for at least the next twenty years. There
was no way I was gonna let him take the rap for a crime he
didn’t commit, hell no! Ruth Anne and Jackson were more than
good friends … that day in the cabin, we had all been lovers and
for me, it was enough reason to save his ass from jail. Course I
would have done it even if he wasn’t Ruth Anne’s beau … No
way I’d ever let an innocent man go to prison!
Not gonna mince my words here, it was a first-rate time
when we all came together in that room in the old cabin I
volunteered as a hideout on Cedar Ledge. I won’t be forgetting
the soft feel of Ruth Anne’s body against mine nor would I
forget Jackson giving free rein to his hunger for this new
experience he was having, one that drove me to a pleasure
higher than any of these here mountains on Half Breed Haven
Yep; that sure was a romp all three of us are gonna long
remember. Ruth Anne and I obliged her man a little slice of
paradise that beautiful afternoon. However, after it was over the
fact remained the only thing standing between the paradise he
just had and going straight to the hell that was Claymore Prison
was me, and I damn well wasn't fixing to let hell come out over
heaven!

Oh, and one more thing. Through all this I done made me
an enemy, nah scratch that...HE done made an enemy outta ME!
Give me a stack of bibles and I’ll swear on them that someday
he’s gonna be sorry he ever heard the name Cattie Wilde. I’ll
see to that!

FOREWORD

M
y name is Allie Mastluehr, and in the spring of
1913, I stumbled upon some of the most
remarkable but forgotten tales of the American
West and the entry you have just read was from
the journal of Catalina Wilde from the days of her uninhibited
youth. I was rewarded with Cattie’s writings, along with those
of her one-of-a-kind family, by her upon my arrival in the
desolate ruins of Cedar Ledge—a once mighty Arizona ranch—
and I promise that everything I learned wasn’t the stuff of
legend; it was one remarkable family’s real history, almost lost
to the unforgiving winds of time.

I experienced a countless series of shocks as Cattie, the


ranch’s last inhabitant, relayed to me the true story of the
heroics of her most improbable of mixed race families. She
quickly immersed me in all the action, adventure, romance, and
family drama that came with being one-quarter of the
formidable foursome known to friends and foes alike as THE
DAUGHTERS OF HALF BREED HAVEN. In short, I learned of
this stunning multiracial quartet whose bravery, thirst for
justice and love for each other were matched only by their
unbridled appetite for the most casual and sizzling encounters
with the opposite (or in Catalina's case, the same) sex.

The Mexican Catalina along with the fair-skinned, blonde


Cassandra, the mulatto Honor Elizabeth and the Asian Lijuan—
all half-sisters—were the proud daughters of Judge William
Henry “Whip” Wilde. The interracial sisters along with their
siblings, cavalry officer Dutch and his Indian love Bright
Feather, and their youngest brother, the half Yavapai brave Blue
River, made up the WILDES OF THE WEST. They upheld the law
and aided those in need amidst the pristine beauty and natural
wonders that was their corner of 1870s Arizona.
Though I have only had the privilege of knowing Catalina,
through her stories and the significant volume of diaries and
journals mercifully saved by her, the rest of the Wildes have
become as alive to me as if they were standing before me as I
write this.

Catalina Wilde is my gracious hostess and now, for all


practical purposes, is also fast becoming the mother I never
had. From what I can tell, she has not changed one bit from her
youth. She was an impetuous, fun-loving young woman who
enthusiastically engaged in her romances that flew in the face
of what society deemed acceptable. Come what may, little ever
stifled her good cheer—not even the dangers she faced against
the countless robbers, rustlers, polecats, and jaspers that the
West kept throwing at them. Woe to anyone that stood in the
way of Catalina and her sisters.

She has graciously made available to me all her family’s


writings so that I may pen the definitive tale of this unique and
exceptional family and the adversity they faced. The more I read
of them, the greater my amazement and respect for them grows
as I follow their adventures in vanquishing villains and bedding
whatever conquests happen to come their way.

Together, the Wilde sisters could be near unstoppable but


whenever alone or in pairs they still proved to be a force to be
reckoned with.
Just how much can be found in one of Catalina’s journals
from long ago when she would stop at nothing to come to the
aid of both intimate friends, a courageous young hostage held
by a fiend, and an entire tribe of Indians all of whom were
threatened by evil men who planted the seeds of their own
destruction through dark obsessions and unbridled greed that
came hand in hand with …

SILVER, GOLD & DECEPTION


CHAPTER 1

SCRUB BUSH COUNTY OUTSIDE


ALAMIEDA
ARIZONA TERRITORY
1873

That miserable goddamn wench!

O
ver and over again that one thought churned
within the murky cesspool that was the brain of
Ian Oaksford as he clenched his teeth so hard the
possibility of some of them snapping off wasn’t
out of the question. His muscles burned under the strain as he
snapped the reins yet again, urging the exhausted animals in
the traces to maintain their speed and put as much distance
between him and Alamieda as possible. His trip to there was
the final, humiliating rejection from that bitch; after all he had
done for her.
Under him, the wagon was vibrating as if it were about to
fly apart, and given its age and deplorable condition, Oaksford
wouldn't be surprised if it did. The rickety old wagon, after all,
had been purchased by his parents all those decades ago when
they had headed west. Like many, the Oaksfords had answered
the siren cry of that unknown land. So, they had turned their
backs on their failing little Vermont dirt farm that sat within view
