About This Book
It is time for the spring roundup in the mountain country of Wyoming. The year is 1885 when the beef industry is on the rise and the cattle barons are fighting tooth and nail to win the lucrative rewards it brings.
The small section of Columbine Winter's homestead that sits between two big ranches holds a safe haven for the mavericks that the larger ranchers gather and divide between themselves come roundup time. Columbine collects a small dividend for the privilege but when the stranger arrives as a hired hand things start to change.
James January comes to her under some false pretenses but soon proves he is up to taking a firm hand with both the ranchers and the tough-minded widow.
A deeply depraved neighbor coasting on a seething bed of wickedness decides to prove who is boss in the neighborhood. It is a moment when JJ needs to stand tall for Columbine and he determines that, at whatever cost, a cold winter will come early for someone in the valley this year.
