Maverick Valley Showdown

She Came Home to Rebuild Her Life. Now She Must Fight for Everything She Loves.

Free-spirited photographer and mom Kyra Gilbert returned to the quirky mountain valley where she grew up to reconnect with her daughter, revive her family’s run-down lodge, and build a better life.

But her fresh start is under threat.

Powerful developers have their sights set on Maverick Valley. Political corruption and organized crime are creeping closer to home. And when Kyra’s curiosity draws her into the mystery surrounding a young woman’s death, she gets dangerously close to people with plenty to hide.

Her personal life is just as complicated. Her second marriage—to overworked sheriff Luke—is under strain, while a dangerous attraction to a shallow lawyer threatens everything she has worked to rebuild.

As corruption, crime, and greed close in, Kyra’s photographer’s eye and refusal to look the other way draw her into the fight.

To protect the people and place she loves, she’ll have to decide what—and who—is truly worth fighting for.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotionally rich women’s fiction with Western settings, family drama, romance, and suspense.
