Synopsis
Cullen Durant viewed the position of handyman at the Melbourne ranch as a break from his old job, a chance to taste some of the easy life. The only major problem was dealing with the two women on the ranch, until bizarre things started to happen. A rancher is gunned down in cold blood and Cully finds himself the target of an ambush, but has no idea as to the motive. Added to the mix are a suspicious fever, which kills off a thousand head of cattle and some unexpected repercussions from an upcoming arranged marriage. Before he can figure out the complex puzzle, there is a kidnapping for ransom. The only way for Cully to save the victim and untangle the string of mysteries is to walk into a trap where he'll most certainly be killed . . . not exactly the easy life he had imagined!

Reviews
Cullen Lomax is trying to escape his (rather mysterious) former life when he signs on as handyman at the well-heeled Melbourne ranch. But trouble has a way of finding Cully, and when he’s reluctantly escorting the Melbourne daughter, Victoria, on a trip to visit her brother, Cully winds up fighting for their lives. This is a solid novel, with richly drawn characters and a story involving another rancher’s devious—and murderous—plan to acquire more land. Cully and his headstrong charge, young Victoria, have an entertaining Tracy-Hepburn thing going on, trading barbs and snappy dialogue as they inevitably fall in love. Which, incidentally, won’t make Victoria’s fiancé, the son of that selfsame other rancher, very happy at all. Very entertaining stuff, with an engagingly mysterious hero and a plot whose various threads tie together neatly at the end. --David Pitt
