Third title in the Brannon series

Stuart Brannon moves on, intending to go back home to Arizona and see what has become of his ranch. On the way, he gets embroiled in yet another drama - this time at Paradise Meadow, a booming mining town mayored by Dixon Rutherford, one of the outlaws from Hard Winter. Brannon's friend Peter Mulroney is jailed for a crime a did not commit, and Rutherford seeks to drive schoolteacher Rose Creek out of town. Once again, Brannon cannot merely stand by and do nothing where injustice runs rampant. His attempt to help the townspeople overthrow corruption is not without complication, however. Rose Creek questions Brannon's faith, tipping him into internal crisis and making him wonder if his belief in God is pure and without contradiction, after all. Bly gets better and better. A man who believes in God and old-fashioned chivalry, without apology; a woman strong enough to stand up for what she believes is right, although she may not understand the One who gave her the steel to do so; a rollicking adventure with a hint of romance that doesn't turn out quite as one expects it to.
