Ambush at Piñon Canyon

About the Book

Barely twenty-one, Wyoming McCord has already killed several men. He chalks it up to being a poor, grub-line riding cow puncher who got himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting himself in trouble by being caught up in other people’s business. McCord has been making his own way since his mother died, going from one grubstake to another. With nothing of his own but his horse and tack and the gun he wears low down on his right hip, McCord is heading to Arizona to get a start with a clean slate. He plans to find a job and stay put. But a stop in Santa Fe might just put a hitch in his plans. A chance encounter with a bewitching girl leaves him longing for a future rather than planning an escape. Annabelle Dixon is immediately attracted to the charming cowboy, but how can she hold with the constant presence of that big gun on his hip and all that it implies? And what chance does McCord have of winning the heart of a girl who believes him capable of murder?
