Loyalty versus DutyIn the early 1900's, Kinley lives on her parents' remote ranch in Wyoming.  The soft-hearted, twenty-one-year-old woman spent her childhood taking in injured animals and nursing them back to health. Years ago, after a particularly challenging  incident with her make-shift animal clinic, she did learn to temper her compassion with commonsense:"And thereafter, in honor of Kinley’s notoriously bloody, knock-down, drag-out fracas, any dangerous chore or bucking, pitching dust-up that occurred on the ranch would always be referred to as 'Weanin’ the Wolverine'."When her twin sister marries, Kinley finds herself at a crossroads in her life.In spite of occasional bumps, bruises, and even slashing claws and biting teeth, Kinley remains dedicated to her menagerie. She doesn't have the time or inclination, Kinley thinks, for romance.Deputy Game Warden Bram Killoran is drawn to the beautiful Kinley. When he clashes with her over her calling to tend sick and wounded animals, Bram isn't sure whether he should talk some sense into her hard head…or join her in her crusade.Terms of Temptation, by Lorrie Farrelly, is the newest offering in the family sage of the Cantrell family. With her distinctive writing style, Ms. Farrelly brings the colorful characters to life. The reader will laugh and cry along with family as they seek happiness on the American frontier.
