After leaving Warm Springs, Georgia, Cat Callahan and his human companion, Dax, have moved on to Alabama where Dax takes temporary work at New Hope Ranch. The horse ranch provides equine therapy and training for people with traumatic injuries-in body or mind. One of owner Avery Wilson's goals, in honor of her missing brother, is to gain government approval for veterans who are dealing with PTSD and other conditions. And to get that approval, she needs Campbell Kirkland to inspect the operation. His decision will be crucial. When Camp arrives, he discovers Avery is dealing with a worse situation. Her ex, frustrated that the judge did not grant him a stake in the ranch in their divorce, seems to be behind a series of spiteful moves against her. It appears Eddie is deeply in debt to some dangerous thugs. Based on the evidence, Camp isn't a hundred percent sure that Avery isn't also in on it somehow. And Campbell himself seems to be hiding secrets, as well. Callahan, the big gray cat, is on the case once again, tracking the clues to figure out the truth behind all the human secrets and treachery. Will he put it all together before a terrible fate comes to Avery and her beloved horses? This story was previously published as Trouble in Summer Valley by Susan Y.

First book in the eagerly anticipated sequel to the Bellamys of Texas trilogy! Fast-forwarding a few generations finds the contemporary Bellamy-Welles-Slade families going strong in northern New Mexico. Colter Bellamy and his partner, Jonah Slade, run the security division of the family business in Albuquerque, including private investigation and personal security services. When they get the call that J.D. Pederson's death was suspicious, Colter rushes to northern New Mexico, the area near his own family's ranch, to see how he can aid in the investigation. When he discovers that the blown tire and rollover were no accident, everyone associated with the Pederson Ranch becomes a suspect. Twenty-eight year old, hazel-eyed Miranda Pederson seems the most broken up by the death, but she's also the one with the most to gain. Miranda is shocked to learn she has inherited the lucrative ranch. J.D. was her stepfather and she expected his natural sons, nine-year-old twins, would be the heirs. When Colter Bellamy shows up with his suspicious questions and a good-sized dose of the Bellamy charm, she doesn't know what to think. But within days, someone fires shots at Miranda and her young stepbrothers, and she knows all their lives are at risk, unless J.D.'s killer is caught. One by one, Colter checks out the suspects, wanting to believe in Miranda's innocence and to ignore how good she looks in those jeans. Can they resist the sparks that fly between them, even if it turns out Miranda is a suspect and Colter might be the one to turn her in? Or will Miranda learn the deepest secrets of the Bellamy family and discover betrayals that shock her to the core?

Ford Bellamy never planned to leave his wife, never expected she'd leave him. But death is merciless and it's time to make a new life for himself and his little girl. New Mexico, where his sister and her husband have made their home, calls to him. After five years in Boston, Maria Cordova travels home, excited to return to the beauty of New Mexico but less so to an arranged marriage. The handsome cowboy with a baby in his arms catches her interest and tugs at her heart but he's surely married, and she's betrothed to a man she's never met. Fate has ideas of its own as the stage coach journey north proves more perilous with each passing mile. Ford turns to Maria to keep his daughter safe while he adds his skill and his gun to the protection of the coach and passengers. Meanwhile, Katherine watches the New Mexico horizon for her brother and worries over the danger that threatens the ranch she and Slade have built together with Jeb and Hannah. They don't believe that the band of Indians who coexist peacefully at their boundary are behind the murder of their vaquero or the slaughter of their cattle. The stagecoach trip is coming to an end, but Ford hasn't found love only to lose it again and Maria is a woman worth fighting for.
