About this book

A broken saddle cinch brings a new ranch hand within earshot of an unseen girl who answers his whistling with a meadowlark call. Their playful conversation outside Pedro Vijil's adobe introduces a Mexican ranching world of difficult horses, borrowed clothing and uncertain employment. The girl has watched the stranger ride and suspects that his skill may put him at odds with the ranch manager.

Marah Ellis Ryan combines this light opening with a wider adventure involving rival loyalties, secret trails and political unrest in Sonora. Later, Kit listens to a captive who claims that an ammunition cache and a planned trap make his release urgent. Tula brings word of Doña Jocasta's distress as Kit tries to understand the men around him. Readers interested in frontier romance will find lively banter alongside questions of trust, power and freedom.
