ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE WILL NOT BE DENIED ANYONE WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO BE FREE. WYOMING, 1883... When twenty-year-old Kelley Keaton returns home after five years in New York, she discovers home is not the place it used to be. Her brother is behaving mysteriously. Her childhood nemesis, Luke Taylor, is now connected to her by a controlling organization their families created and call the Alliance. And their neighbor has turned being a nuisance and a bully into something far more sinister and menacing. When one of their own is cold-bloodedly murdered, the Alliance sets out to get justice. Who is responsible? How can they prove their suspicions? How do they cope with conflict over strategy, unexpected romance and unrequited love, the demands of loyalty, and with loss and sacrifice? With each twist and turn of this courageous and passionate adventure it becomes clear that there are no easy answers, as the Alliance families and their friends fight for the truth, for freedom and for each other. In this warm and spirited novel about discerning loyalty, love and freedom in the most trying circumstances, we are taken to a world that has long since passed into legend but at whose heart throbs a timeless pulse. These Liberty & Property Legends have a bold, adventuresome and romantic story to tell, beginning with HEARTLAND On the Side of Angels.
