The Reporter

In 1880s Tombstone, one sprawling ranch family is about to change — one bride at a time.

Pepper Archer didn't become a newspaperwoman to cover tea parties and barn-raisings. She wants the real stories — corruption, injustice, the truth that makes a difference — if only her editor would stop handing her the society page and the shade-tree committee.

Then the one assignment she can't talk her way out of throws her back together with Caleb Langford, the boy she once punched in the arm under the mesquite trees when they were twelve. Caleb isn't a boy anymore. And the easy, infuriating friendship they've always shared is starting to feel like something Pepper has no idea how to put into words — let alone into print.

Between a heated town election, a Founder's Day dance she swore she wouldn't attend, and a land fraud scheme that reaches higher than anyone in Tombstone wants to believe, Pepper just might find the headline of her career — and the love that was beside her all along.

Meanwhile, Pepper is the last Archer daughter to find her way — and with all his children finally settled, Beau Archer's own story may be ready to begin.

The Reporter is the eleventh book in the Archer Family Ranch saga, a sweet historical romance about childhood friends to sweethearts, chasing your dreams, and the love hiding in plain sight — for readers who love wholesome frontier romance and warm western towns.
