Wild Ride Cowboy (Copper Ridge #9)
by Maisey YatesHe's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon, to keep a promise-even if it means losing his heart... Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex-military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother-in-arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade's sister-a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough-as-iron Alex to his knees. Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honorable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him, too...about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.

But the Army, obliged to find the killer, offers a one-thousand-dollar reward. For veteran range detective Sam Benbow, there's no shortage of suspects, including the general's son, a junior officer constantly belittled by his august father; the schoolmarm whose brother was left to die because of the general's cowardice; the immigrant stone mason with a deep blood grievance, the half-breed scout whose family was lost in the massacre; and Falls's own secret business partner. A fear greater than any reward drives Benbow's pursuit. For, in the circle of suspects, he doesn't know the killer--but the killer knows him.
