The Marshal's Promise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997574710)

A marshal hunting a killer. A rancher fighting to hold on to her land. And secrets that could put them both in the crosshairs.

U.S. Marshal Matthew Lawson is hunting Darien Maddox-a ruthless outlaw responsible for his cousin's murder, a trail of violent crimes, and a thriving illegal whiskey trade. When the search leads him near the remote Kemmer Ranch, he crosses paths with Lillie Kemmer, a spirited ranch owner struggling to keep her cattle ranch afloat on the unforgiving prairie.

Staying on as a ranch hand was never part of Matthew's plan. But he could never forgive himself for leaving a woman-even one as strong as Lillie-to fend for herself in the untamed Cimarron Territory.

As days on the ranch draw them closer, Matthew's pursuit of Maddox becomes increasingly dangerous-and so does his growing attachment to Lillie. Because she's keeping secrets of her own, and the closer Matthew comes to the man he's hunting, the more those secrets threaten everything they're beginning to build.
