About This Book

A reserved Englishman arrives to settle a late friend's estate and manage a Canadian ranch for the widow Sylvia Marston. He adjusts from genteel surroundings to harsh prairie life, leading cattle drives, confronting liquor-runners and local disorder, and answering a suspicious constable. A storm and daring rescues intensify legal and personal conflicts as conspiracies and competing claims surface. Revelations about loyalties and motives force moral decisions, and he must reconcile duty, affection, and practical leadership while working to restore order and secure the property’s future.
