Trouble in Dry Springs - The Dry Springs Chronicles, #1

Even the peaceful town of Dry Springs is not without trouble. When Eliza McCoslin's brother sends for her, she exchanges war-torn Mississippi for Dry Springs, Texas. Settling into a new way of life proves difficult though, despite the arrival of the man she's long admired. Jesse Carrigan comes to Dry Springs seeking work and a place to start the ranch he's dreamed of ever since his parents lost their farm.
What he doesn't expect to find is the woman he'd like to court-or his former colonel on the run from a deadly threat. Given the circumstances keeping Jesse and Eliza apart and the danger looming on the horizon, he and Eliza find themselves facing the loss of future love-and life. When trouble comes to Dry Springs, who will be left standing?
