Thundering Ridge (Thundering Mountain Ranch)

Justice, love, or both… Can he find the peace he’s looking for or will revenge ruin his forever?

Luke Seymour, cowboy turned aspiring reporter, left his family’s ranch to find justice for his Pa’s murder. After eight long years, he finally catches a glimpse of the woman who started it all. Beginning a search of parlor houses in Helena, Montana, he attends an auction where his heart stops, his palms sweat, and his interest in one young lady makes him forget for just one moment why he is there.

Louisa, desperate and alone, agrees to an auction that threatens to rob her of her innocence. With courage and desperation, she stands in front of the wealthiest men in town, leaving her wants and wishes behind.

In a life-altering moment, Luke offers Louisa a chance at a new beginning, a respectable position as his housekeeper and cook. Not knowing if she can trust him, she looks deep into his green eyes and decides his offer is far better than the alternative. As their lives intertwine in a booming frontier town, their bond strengthens, but Luke’s relentless pursuit draws danger close and he stands to lose everything. Can he find a way to bring evil to justice or will his relentless pursuit endanger the one woman who has buried herself deep into his cowboy heart?
