McGraw's Inheritance

An interesting twist on the Wild West romance is created by Thomas, whose heroine, True McCormick, is the reckless western figure who refuses to settle down. She is unsettled, however, by a publisher's demand that the reclusive Granite Westwind, author of enormously popular dime novels, appear for an author's tour. The problem is that Granite is really the diminutive, feisty, and beautiful True McCormick. To play the role of Granite for the tour, True hires Seth Atherton, a man she finds in a jail cell resting up from a saloon brawl. Seth is actually a respectable hardware store owner, a secret he keeps from her just as she keeps Granite's real identity private. Naturally the pair fall in love, but hired assassins and fans keep the pair incredibly occupied. Predictable, but not too contrived fare. Sure to captivate Thomas' fans. Denise Perry Donavin
