Cooper “Coop” McKenna is returning home from being gone for two years. He left to get away from bring suspected of murder. Cooper is coming home to the family feud ramping up again with the family ranch next door. Matilda “Tilly” Stafford has always wanted to take over the family ranch. Her family had been feuding with the neighboring ranch for generations. Tilly will need all her stubbornness when she decides to look into the shooting of her younger sister. Cooper and Tilly have been rivals all their lives but when they team up to find the person who almost killed her sister, they’ll find out that the Dark Side of the River may reveal more than they bargained for.

B.J. Daniels’s newest series, Powder River, begins with DARK SIDE OF THE RIVER. The series revolves around the feuding and secrets of two ranching families who have been fighting for generations. The McKennas and the Staffords are neighbors in the Powder River Basin. When the youngest daughter of the Stafford family is shot and could die on McKenna land it amps up the already brewing feud. Cooper the second oldest McKenna son has just returned home after leaving when he was suspected of murdering his former girlfriend. He has a rivalry with the daughter of the Stafford family about his age. Matilda aka Tilly wants to run the family ranch, but her mother doesn’t agree. When her younger sister is shot and fighting for her life in the hospital, Tilly needs to find the would-be shooter or fall apart. Cooper is leery of becoming involved with helping Tilly because of his past with the local sheriff’s office.

DARK SIDE OF THE RIVER brings two rivals together looking for a shooter who realizes that their combined past means more than they thought. There are romantic and family complications as well as danger and an investigation. Families who are against any contact with the other on both sides and could keep two people apart. The families' pasts are affecting the current generation and may keep their children from the happiness they're looking for.

DARK SIDE OF THE RIVER sets the stage for the new Powder River series by B.J. Daniels with a story that keeps the reader engaged and wondering who was behind a dangerous shooting and the reason behind it. This reader thinks there is more to the reason than was given and seems to be more intrigue coming in the next books. Which of the McKenna and Stafford family will get their happily ever after with a dash of danger? The new Powder River series is a must for Daniels fans and romantic suspense fans. This reader couldn’t put it down and is looking anxiously for the next book, RIVER STRONG.

SUMMARY

Grudges run deep between two ranch families. And so do secrets…

There’s no avoiding anyone in Powder River’s small community—not even a bitter rival. For years, Cooper McKenna has been thrown together with Tilly Stafford, competing against her at summer rodeos. With all the bad blood between their families, he never imagined they’d be forced to work together. Then Tilly’s younger sister is shot, and Cooper comes under suspicion.

Determined to get answers, they reluctantly team up, animosity turning to something far more heated—and no less dangerous. Because someone is watching, with a lot to hide and every reason to kill again…
