Wild Heart of Piceance Creek

A Western set in Piceance Creek during the late 1880s.

Katie Anderson is a 16-year-old girl living in isolation on Piceance Creek in Colorado, raised by her father who hides a dark past involving cattle rustling and murder. When Henry Schmidt, a dangerous man from her father's past, arrives, he declares his intention to marry her, threatening to expose her father's secret. Katie fights to protect her father and her own future, but Schmidt's power and knowledge make escape seem impossible. As tensions rise, a young clerk named Russell Hollis offers unexpected support, but Katie must navigate the treacherous landscape of frontier justice and the threat of violence. In a world where a woman's worth is measured by her ability to secure a husband, Katie must find the courage to claim her own path before Schmidt's demands become impossible to resist.
