The Inheritance » (Original)

An unexpected inheritance. An unknown future. An unending love.

Determined to tame her younger brother's rebellious streak, McKenna Ashford accepts her cousin's invitation to move west and to begin again. But she quickly discovers that life in Copper Creek, Colorado is far from what she expected. Shouldering burdens beyond her years, McKenna tries to be the parent Robert needs, instead of the older sister he resents. But an "untimely inheritance" challenges her resolve at every turn, while also offering a second chance to restore her trust--and perhaps even her heart.

U.S. Marshal Wyatt Caradon is dedicated to bringing fugitives to justice, yet years of living on the trail have taken their toll. When his path intersects with that of McKenna, he comes face-to-face with a past he never wanted to relive--and the one woman who can help him find the future he's been longing for.

As McKenna struggles to let go of her independence and Wyatt considers opening his heart again, they discover an inheritance beyond imagination. But it will come at a price.

In this Western tale, McKenna Ashford is looking to make a new start when she moves west to Copper Creek, CO, with her rebellious little brother. When they arrive, however, things are not what they expected. And further complicating their lives is U.S. Marshall Wyatt Caradon. Sure to appeal to fans of Alexander's historical series ("Timber Ridge Reflections"; "Fountain Creek Chronicles").
