From four-time Spur Award-winning author C.K. Crigger comes a Western Historical Romance filled with frontier mystery, murder, danger, and slow-burning love.
In Washington Territory, Claudia Kennedy may be only a hotel worker, but years assisting her physician father have made her the closest thing Rock Creek has to a doctor.
When recovery agent Bonner Galloway arrives searching for a stolen Nez Percé Appaloosa, Claudia is intrigued. Then someone leaves him for dead.
Claudia secretly saves his life, but their troubles have only begun. The hotel has been lost in a poker game, its owner is murdered, and Claudia becomes the prime suspect. With corrupt lawmen closing in and a ruthless horse thief determined to silence them, Claudia and Bonner must uncover the truth before another body falls.
Can Claudia’s remarkable skills save them both and turn an unexpected attraction into lasting love?
