Her child’s life is on the line
A Roughwater Ranch Cowboys story
After putting his serial killer brother in prison, former US marshal Mitch Whitehorse chooses a solitary country life—until his brother escapes. Now Mitch’s former sister-in-law, Jane Reyes, needs protection...for herself and the toddler she’s kept a secret. Mitch still isn’t sure of Jane’s innocence in his brother’s crimes, but to keep his nephew out of a killer’s grasp, trusting her is his only option.

“You didn’t know the guy you married was a serial killer?”
The judgment was there in Mitch’s eyes, the same as she’d seen in the courtroom, from the cops, from the people who drove by her house and threw rocks through her windows, flattened her tires, sent death threats.
Jane swallowed hard against an onslaught of bitter tears. “I was blind, stupid blind, but I did not know.”
A long moment passed between them. “You’re right. I don’t believe you.”
She sagged. What else had she expected? “Okay. Don’t believe me, but Wade has come here to kill you and after he does that, he’ll kill me, too.”
“Why would he want to kill you? If you’re really innocent, why would Wade want to do that?”
“Because he will eventually find out that I have something he wants, something that I won’t ever give to him while I have breath in my body.”
“What could you have that would make him care enough to come after you?”
Her head spun and she fought for breath.
“I have his son.”
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
—Romans 8:38–39
To Ann P., my golden-hearted friend.
Miles of ocean, acres of grassland, plenty of heroes. Welcome to the Roughwater Ranch, owned by Aunt Ginny and Uncle Gus. I just adore a good cowboy story, don’t you? In this series you’ll meet Mitch, Liam, Helen and Chad, four people who are closer than kin, part of the glorious Roughwater Ranch family. All four books take place along the central California coast, a favorite spot of ours to visit. The last time we were there, we watched the sea lions hanging out on the beach, just across the road from herds of cattle grazing on the pastureland. Surf and turf at its finest! I hope you will enjoy coming along on my coastal cowboy adventures!
