About the book

·         Literary Classics Seal of Approval

·         Multicultural cast

(Clean western romance) A gusty young woman and a Latino man, both searching for missing family, clash amid a Nevada silver rush scheme that leaves each unsure who to trust—and scrambling to stay alive.

What if you returned from a journey to discover that your family has evaporated and someone else has taken residence in your house—oh, and is trying to kill you? Is the shadowy drifter her ally or her enemy?

You’ll love the genuine conflict, mistaken identity, and rash choices a person must live with when they presume to know what’s what. Set around historic Carson City and the Lake Tahoe region, the writing comes from intimate knowledge of the territory. Having lived off the land, Wilcox depended on his wit, grit, and strength (and on his animals) for survival. He and Beckstrand weave authentic detail, care for the terrain and its creatures, and folksy vernacular in a romantic thriller that will make your heart stop.

Don’t miss this standalone mystery with bonus short story—or listen to the audiobook: To Swallow the Earth (family safe—ages 14 & up; New Adult/Y.A. survival western; also a Young Adult novel/ebook—soon a graphic novel with a strong female lead, Hispanic protagonist, and a Native American Indian family).
