What will she give, in turn, to stop the bounty on his head from becoming a noose around his neck?Cora Blake’s first impressions of Julius McAdams could hardly have been more positive—handsome, strong, well-spoken... and wealthy too. But now that her parents, and his as well, are set on a seeing the two of them married, she’s learning that her intended is far from the gentleman she initially believed him to be. On a westbound train to San Francisco, where her engagement to Julius is to be formalized, Cora realizes she can never marry such an arrogant, overbearing brute.Meanwhile, on the same train, bronc-rider Quint Woodall is on his way home to Colorado to recuperate from a dangerous spinal injury that abruptly ended his season with Cimarron Jack Wheatley’s Wild West Extravaganza. When Cora and Julius burst unannounced into his life, Quint acts on a hastily concocted idea to disentangle the girl from what he perceives to be a dire predicament.Judging Quint’s offer to be the lesser of two high-stakes gambles, Cora accepts the bronc-rider’s way out, never dreaming her choice could lead to such an array of troubles and dangers for the both of them.Vicious new enemies, as well as glimmers of a glorious new life, await Cora, as she struggles to free herself from a corrupt business-magnate father and a powerful, determined young tycoon who must have her as his wife.GP Hutchinson’s action-packed novel, High Plains Redemption, offers readers an intriguing peek into Gilded-Age America and the still-wild West with all of the era’s optimism, fears, drama, and power-mongering. From a mustanger’s ranch on Colorado’s high plains to a mogul’s mansion in Chicago’s moneyed suburbs, High Plains Redemption is a true Western played out in troubled and changing times.
