Book Description

When the independent and spirited Julie Lawson receives a small ranch as a gift from her father, she is determined to make a success of it. Yet the appearance of the desultory but enticing Joe Rancher heralds trouble for the people of Oakley, and Julie soon finds herself embroiled in a web of drama and danger, culminating in her kidnap and a bloody gunfight. Will peace ever return to Oakley, or will Julie fall under the alluring spell of Joe Rancher?

Fiona McDonald's debut novel paints a graphic picture of the lives and loves of the pioneering American ranchers and tells of both their tragedies and triumphs.
