January 7th, 2020
is release day for my first traditionally-published full-length historical. Set
in 1880, Becky Campbell leaves her wealthy New York lifestyle in search of her
father, only to learn he was murdered in the small town of Silver Valley,
Colorado. Unable to return to her mother in humiliation and defeat, she
determines to fulfill her father’s dream—to make the Double Jeopardy
profitable.
Zeke Graumann, a
local rancher, is faced with a hard decision regarding his land and his dream.
After several years of poor weather and low cattle prices, he will either have
to take on a job to help pay his overhead expenses, or sell his land. He hires
on with this Easterner for two reasons: he can’t turn his back on a damsel in
distress. And he needs the money.
Becky isn’t certain
Zeke is all he claims to be, and after a series of accidents at her mine,
wonders if he isn’t behind it, trying to get her to sell out so he can take
over.
Zeke finds many of
Becky’s qualities admirable and fears he’s losing his heart to her charms, but
also recognizes she was never cut out to be a rancher’s wife.
Can Becky overcome
her mistrust of Zeke, find her father’s killer, and turn her mine into a
profitable venture—before her mother arrives in town, thinking she’s coming for
her daughter’s wedding? And will Zeke be forced to give up his dream and lose
his land in order to win Becky’s heart?
