Came a Stranger — Linda Sandifer

A BOLD WOMAN

Maggie Clayton had first come to Wyoming as a seventeen-year-old bride. Together, she and her husband fought impossible odds to build the White Raven Ranch from a wild, untamed land.

Maggie hired Seth Sackett to safeguard her family and her home...but who would protect her from the rugged, irresistible gunslinger?

Now he would use it to fight a brutal range war...to protect the woman who threatened to break through his defenses...and made his heart ache with longing for the rapturous promise of a love he never dreamed could be his...
