The Rustler's Wife

A Mystery set in Arizona during the late 19th century.

Christine Melton, daughter of the Bar Double G ranch owner, faces a devastating choice when her father's reckless actions land him in trouble. To save him, she must marry the notorious outlaw Blackie Slade, a man she despises. As she navigates this forced union, she finds herself drawn to Hiram Spencer, the deputy sheriff held captive by Slade. With the sheriff's life hanging in the balance, Christine must balance her growing affection for Spencer with the dangerous reality of her forced marriage. In the harsh Arizona desert, where trust is scarce and violence is common, she must make choices that could cost her everything—and save the man she loves.
