Wild Rain: Women Who Dare

USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins
continues her captivating Women Who Dare series with a female rancher who forges
her own path in the wake of the Civil War… 

Banished
by her grandfather at the age of eighteen, Spring Lee has survived scandal to
claim her own little slice of Paradise, Wyoming. She’s proud of working her
ranch alone and unwilling to share it with a stranger—especially one like
Garrett McCray, who makes her second-guess her resolve to avoid men. 

Garrett
escaped slavery years ago and is now a reporter in Washington. He’s traveled
west to interview Dr. Colton Lee for an article, yet it’s Lee’s fearless
sister, Spring, who captures his interest. Clad in denim and buckskins instead
of dresses, she’s the most fascinating woman he’s ever met. And he’s certain
she also feels the connection that sizzles between them. 

But
when a shadow from Spring’s past returns, all is on the line: her ranch, her
safety—and this wild, fierce love.
