The story of the MacKenzie family continues in THE LEGACY OF COPPER CREEK, a
golden tale of a family of strong, determined, and brave
men and women. They face daily challenges with an air of
confidence. Author R.C. Ryan constructed the MacKenzie's out of
rock with a firm, loving core. The core of all the Copper
Creek stories is family, and THE LEGACY OF COPPER CREEK is
another marvelous addition to what has become a true
favorite.
There has been a thread carefully woven though all three
of the Copper Creek books. The quiet determination of the
MacKenzie's to forge ahead after the still unresolved
murder of their father, Bear, who was gunned down on their own
ranch with no obvious reason by an unknown cowardly
gunman.
Bear's son, Whit, loves the ranch and his big family but
truly values alone time. Whit is a man comfortable with
quiet and solitude. That's why he was no stranger to
occasional time spent in one of the many range shacks.
But Whit was in for quite a surprise when he realizes the
shack wasn't empty. Nope. Definitely not as empty as he
had expected and hoped. What Whit didn't realize
was that this cute, outspoken stranger who was basically
trespassing was going to give him a run for his money -- in
a good way.
Cara Walton wasn't hunkering down because of the
blizzard. She was hiding until she could figure out her
next move. With her limited resources -- only the clothes on
her back, no family, and no true destination -- her options
were scarce. But you would be remiss if you thought to
pity Cara.
And Whit was no fool. MacKenzie's were full of bluster
and temper, but when the chips were down, you couldn't find
a better group to help.
THE LEGACY OF COPPER CREEK has quite a story to tell with
an amazing cast of characters we have learned to love and
respect. There's no shortage of humor, intrigue and
drama. R.C. Ryan has dished up still another satisfying
tale in THE LEGACY OF COPPER CREEK.
When Love Walks Through the Door . .
. Like all MacKenzie men, Whit respects three
things: hard work, his family, and the wild beauty of the
Montana land he calls home. The solitude of the high country
is a welcome respite to a loner like Whit. So when a
powerful spring snowstorm hits as he's tending the herd,
Whit heads to one of the family's isolated cabins. The cold
winds don't trouble him. The gorgeous mystery woman waiting
inside does.
All Cara Walton wanted was a chance to
clear her head. And the forgotten cabin on the outskirts of
the MacKenzie ranch seemed like the perfect place to do just
that-until Whit arrives. The rugged cowboy quickly melts
Cara's defenses and she's powerless to resist his strong
arms or his tender touch. She desperately wants to trust
him, but there's so much Whit doesn't know, so much she
hasn't told him. She lost everything once-can she find the
courage to risk her heart again?
