- Genre: Western Romance
If you enjoy a Wild West story with cattle rustlers, bank robbers, shootouts, hangings, lawmen, mystery, and romance, Mavericks is the book for you. The noble Arizona Rangers roamed the territory rooting out evildoers in a lawless land. Meanwhile, in the absence of a stable law enforcement presence, ranchers vowed to evict the upstart homesteaders, sheepherders, and cattle rustlers—by any means necessary or expedient. The sheepherders and homesteaders fought back in order to continue to fence their range, dam the streams, and try to survive in the beautiful but austere land on the Mexican border.
A quiet center in the midst of the turmoil, a dusky beauty (the schoolmarm, naturally), awakening to her own powers as a young woman, just wants to take care of the school, the local post office, her father and brother, and the men she loves. Men? Yes, the lady is in a quandary: should she choose the footloose outlaw or the crusty—yet wealthy—rancher possessed of a hair-trigger temper? Or should she settle for one of the childhood sweethearts who will do anything to own her? Will they all kill each other before she can select one? Can no one stop the cattle rustlers and save the girl?
O'Ronin Rye always brings you the very latest in yesterday’s Westerns.
