In Big Timber, Montana, worried Emily Calder
tells her brother Jace that her boss at the Sarah Hamilton Foundation Bo
Hamilton failed to return from a night of camping. Emily says depressed Bo arranged for auditors
to look into embezzlement of foundation funds.
They were to interview her; but she failed to make the meeting.
Jace prefers to stay far away from the woman who
rejected his proposal, but fears something happened to Bo. Though in the minority, he strongly believes
she did not take the money nor would deliberately miss the appointment with the
auditors especially since she found the discrepancies. In the nearby mountains, fearful Jace learns
why Bo missed her session with the auditors she contacted.
The second Montana Hamiltons romantic
suspense (see Wild Horses) is an exciting rustic thriller. The lead couple and the villain make for an
interesting potentially deadly triangle in which the life-threatening danger
rightfully supersedes the romance.
Although there are too many subplots started for future entries (in
fairness there are six Hamilton siblings and their mom back from the grave
after a two plus decade vanishing needing a scorecard), Lone Rider is a
wonderful second chance, if they survive, contemporary.
