Merissa Baker lives quietly in a cottage with her mother, and she was home-schooled so she's not used to crowds. The two have the name of witches, not that most ranching people believe such talk. Sometimes Merissa has visions though, and on a snowy December night she just has to go and warn someone his life is in danger....

WYOMING BOLD starts with Merissa warning Dalton Kirk that a drug gang is after him. Her knowledge seems remarkably detailed. Dalton fought his way out of a bad situation some months previously, but he didn't tell anyone except the police. It's possible that a rogue DEA agent is loose and if Dalton could identify him he'd be in trouble. While the practical man wants to dismiss a psychic, he can't be sure. He thanks the girl and promises to keep in touch. Merissa does web design from home. Later Dalton asks the girl to join him for a meal, thinking it will be neighbourly, but then he starts hearing rumours that her vanished father is a violent man. Could this get complicated? Even stranger, he's had a firm install security cameras but getting an outside expert to check proves a good move, as illicit bugs are found around the house. Next a man posing as an electrician shows up at Merissa's place....

Drug dealers are today's universal bullies and villains, and the ones in this story think nothing of setting a trap to kill women not connected to law enforcement, and seem to have plenty of money to spend on electronic gadgets. Diana Palmer links the characters and events of WYOMING BOLD with those from other novels, so readers who haven't read about her Texas lawmen may find themselves at a disadvantage, but anyone following all her books should enjoy seeing old friends. This popular writer leaves a foretaste of another suspense story, so don't relax just yet.
