Holding the Fort: The Fort Reno Series, Book One by Regina Jennings

When dance hall singer Louisa Bell loses her job at the Cat-Eye Saloon, she has nowhere else to go but to her brother, a cavalry soldier stationed in Indian Territory. But he's run afoul of his commanding officer. Unsure what she can do to help him and desperate for a job, she doesn't protest when she's mistaken for a governess at the fort. Major Daniel Adams has his hands full at Fort Reno, especially raising two adolescent daughters alone. Miss Bell bears little resemblance to Daniel's notion of a governess, but he finds himself turning a blind eye to her unconventional methods. Can she keep her act together long enough to help her brother and secure the respectable future she's sought for so long?
