Hold Back the Wind

When Clay Ralston was released from prison he headed for the only place he knew. It was there that he was to get the money from the sale of his ranch and begin his life anew. Beaver Valley was the only home he ever had, but it was a changed place for him. King Kelsey now controlled most of the valley and held influence over the citizens of Beaver Creek and King wanted his gone.
When he found out that the money was gone and because of King's influence the people did not want him there he went to the only place where he could get help. He was determined to get that help by helping Josie Carmichael and her children.
The odds were stacked against her and King Kelsey was pushing her out so that he could own the whole valley. There were no lengths that King would not go to in order to get the JM Ranch and be owner to the whole valley but with the help of Clay Josie was going to see to it that it never happened
Wild horses and the railroad came to her rescue, much to King's anger, and with Clay's help she muddled through, but when King proved that he was willing to do anything to get the land the danger escalated into gunfire.
