Lord of the High Lonesome

“Why doesn’t he leave us alone?”

Kit and her grandfather managed the Flying Eagle Ranch. For years they’d been doing it without interference from its long line of mostly absentee owners. Now the newest heir, Baron Reese Talbot, had come to look over his inheritance. He had some different ideas—and they went beyond the running of the ranch! He wanted to teach Kit how to be a woman. But she wouldn’t let him ruin her the way the old baron had ruined her mother. Kit was ready to fight.
