Shiloh Gallagher has lived the past six months in fear for her life. She's become a captive in her own apartment in New York City. Someone has been stalking her, and she can't get the local police to believe her. Deciding she is at a breaking point, Shiloh contacts her mother's friend Maud Whitcomb and asks if she can visit her ranch in Wyoming for a couple months. Of course Maud welcomes Shiloh with open arms. Shiloh is a romance writer, a New York Times best- selling author, but she has not been able to write since this stalking began. Perhaps a change of scenery is just what she needs.

Roan Taggart, a wrangler at Maud's Wind River Ranch, picks up Shiloh at the Jackson Hole Airport. He can see right away that she is very frightful, but he also feels a connection with Shiloh. He wants to help her heal. At the ranch, Shiloh shares an employee house with Roan. What a contrast in personalities! Shiloh is filled with "words" (naturally, being a writer) and Roan is a man of very few, but they make the situation work. As Shiloh opens up to Roan that she feels she is being stalked, he vows to protect her. But can he actually do that on this hundred- thousand acre ranch?

Lindsay McKenna brings us a brand new series set in Wyoming. WIND RIVER WRANGLER is another dynamic romantic suspense story, with a little military flare thrown in for good measure. Roan is an ex-Army Special Forces operative and a great distraction for Shiloh. He's calm, centered, and serious. Roan is a good listener, is hyper-sensitive to Shiloh's feelings and seems to know just what she needs to comfort her in her turmoil. Shiloh is a very resilient, multifaceted, although broken, character who is trying to escape several tragedies in her past and move on from them. She needs to find hope and healing and be able to write again. Ms. McKenna focuses on building a relationship between Roan and Shiloh before the story line moves into suspense mode. But when it does, it is fast and furious. You can never go wrong with Lindsay McKenna novel!

Book Summary

From the moment Roan Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training and experience told him she was spooked. She’s left New York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body.

Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she’s slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won’t have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past…
