This is not a love story. This is a story of three sisters, born into a world that wasn't built for girls unless they forced it to be.

In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, 1882, the Riley sisters live by grit and gunpowder. Ennis, the eldest, carries the weight of being the mother none of them ever knew. Lake, quick-tongued and restless, can outdraw most men in town but longs for something steadier than dust and whiskey. And Thomasina-Tom to her sisters, Sina in town-wants nothing more than to be a lady, even if trouble follows her like a curse.

When Tom returns home bloodied and broken, carrying a confession that could destroy them all, their hard-won survival teeters on the edge of ruin. Now the sisters must decide how far they're willing to go to protect their own, even if it means becoming exactly what the town thinks them to be.

But Oak Crest is not a town that forgets. Blood is demanded. The new sheriff watches with equal suspicion and interest. And a hired foreman proves he's more than a match for cowgirls forged in fire. Secrets multiply, loyalties fray, and the Riley sisters find themselves caught between desire and devotion.

The Devil's Daughters is a sultry, dark-humored Western gothic about blood ties, buried sins, and the women who learn the world won't hand them power-so they must take it.
