Paradise Valley
It’s mid-May, 1886, in the Wyoming Territory, and 20-year-old Maggie McPhee Tucker is digging a grave for James, her husband of four years. The outlaws who attacked them took more than James’ life—they also raped Maggie and stole most of the possessions in her wagon. Sage Lightfoot is looking for the men who robbed him and killed the foreman of his ranch, Paradise Valley. When he sees a lone, battered woman trying to bury her husband, he stops to assist her. Both Maggie and Sage have sworn to bring the murderers to justice, so they set off together on the aptly named Outlaw Trail to find them. There’s danger at every turn in Bittner’s exciting tale of romance in the Old West, and readers will find themselves wrapped up in the adventure. --Shelley Mosley
