The newest Wings of the West novel is almost here!
Arizona Territory
September 1899
Sophie Ryan’s dream of working for a newspaper has come true. Accompanied by her cousin, Lucas Blackmore, a newly appointed U.S. Deputy Marshal, she arrives in Jerome, one of the richest mining towns in America. And one of the most remote. Although she’s been hired to report for the Jerome Mining News on education and cultural issues, she soon finds herself immersed in something more serious when she finds an enigmatic injured man in the Black Hills claiming to be an ornithologist.
U.S. Deputy Marshal Benton McKay is undercover tracking the notorious train robbing Weaver gang, and the trail ends in Jerome. When he’s injured in the Black Hills and found by a determined and beautiful young woman, he must gain her trust to keep his identity a secret. But keeping her out of trouble proves a challenge, especially with her cousin assigned to assist him. As they track down the band of outlaws, another agenda emerges—the renegades are searching for lost gold believed to have been left behind by the Spanish Conquistadors. And Sophie Ryan is determined to report on it.
Come along with Sophie and McKay as they find adventure, mystery, and love.
Sophie is the daughter of Logan and Claire from THE DOVE.

“Your wound,” Sophie said. “You’ve reopened it.”
McKay followed her gaze. “It looks that way.”
“Let me have a look.”
“I’m fine.”
“I didn’t stitch you back together to have you undo it all.”
She reached for the collar of his shirt, but he caught her
wrists before she could touch him. His hands were warm and larger than she’d
realized, his gaze hard and filled with wanting. For her.
It had always been there, some part of her having sensed it,
but now she knew for certain.
“You probably shouldn’t keep touching me,” he said.
“You’re touching me.”
She was close enough to see the slight flare of his nostrils
and the rapid pace of his breath. He gave a slight nod and released her. She
leaned away, putting distance between them.
“Will you at least rebandage it?” she said.
“I’ll look at it.”
“Then it’s time I left.” She picked up her notebook that
he’d placed on the bed beside him.
“Will you promise me something?” he asked.
She waited for him to continue.
“That you won’t follow that map by yourself.”
“Are you offering to accompany me?”
“Sophie, this is dangerous. You should give that evidence to
me and let me handle it.”
The rush of euphoria from a moment ago slid away. Was Ben
Lewis playing on her obvious weakness for him to manipulate her? Her cheeks
heated with embarrassment, and she hid the response by standing and reaching
for her satchel.
“After I went to all the effort to get it?” she said,
placing the notebook in her bag, the blanket dropping from her shoulders and
falling to the floor. “If it’s all the same to you, I’ll hang on to it.”
She put on her coat, still soaked, but she didn’t care, and grabbed
her drenched hat. “I’ll be seeing you, Ben.”
