SHOOT-OUT AT SUGAR CREEK

Novel. Sheriff Caleb doesn't regret taking out a drunken man with his .44. But to his surprise the dead man's powerful mother, cattle baroness Victoria, barely bats an eye at the news. Instead, she asks for a favor: help her convince Willa, the love of Caleb's life, to sell the vast spread that Willa's late father has carved out of the wilderness.
