He raises Arabian horses, a singular occupation that gives him a reputation. Growing to adulthood, Philip has a significant homestead and some formidable gunslinging skills. After young Philip Anderson's parents are murdered as they journey West, the boy is rescued by Sioux Indians. In this originally self-published Western romance, Leavell (Gideon's Call) opens a promising series set at the end of the 19th century, when the Dakota Territory is about to join the union. Will Philip’s uncannily trained horses and unsurpassed sharpshooting skills help him free Anna and find out what really happened to his family out there in the frontier wilderness? With Anna a pawn in the corrupt schemes brewing in Mitchell, Philip is forced to become a reluctant gunslinger even as his inner battle gets in the way.
Can Philip open his heart and tell her he’s in love before it’s too late? Is it his eery and unusual wolf eyes that draw Anna to him? Romance was not part of his plan. Until he meets Anna, a beautiful young woman with secrets of her own. His only desire is to live quietly on his western homestead and raise Arabian horses.
Haunted by the murder of his pioneer parents as they traveled west in their covered wagon, he knows it wasn’t Indians who killed them, and his many unanswered questions about that night still torment him. Not many people in Mitchell, a small town in the Dakota Territory, would understand him living with the Sioux Indians who rescued him as a boy. Philip Anderson keeps his past close to the vest.
