title: Explaining Herself
author: Jocks, Yvonne
description: Turn-of-the-century Wyoming doesn't offer much mystery for a modern-thinking reporter like the youngest Garrison girl--not before a tall, dark stranger calling himself Laramie rides onto her father's property. Why would her papa need to hire a range detective? Why is Laramie interested in local ranchers and a long-ago lynching? And why does she find the enigmatic cowboy so compelling? The more Victoria uncovers about the stranger, the more she fears her heart will be stolen. And if she keeps the seemingly honest-to-gosh outlaw's secrets, lets him steal her kisses, becomes an accomplice in his dangerous desires, the least of her problems will be explaining herself.
