    About this ebook

    It was such a peaceful town, but she had heard of the land disputes out here, all the way back to Philly. She also knew something that they didnt. She knew the railroad was going to go through the town and that the railroad had men they were sending ahead to buy up the property needed for the railroad. These men, without the railroads consent, would act like settlers or ranchers out looking for property to buy without letting anyone know why. These men were ruthless persuaders. They made their offer only once and youd better take it.
    She came out here to help the ranchers and farmers. She also knew there was one big rancher out here who had a 20 or 30 thousand acre spread that stood to lose the most, if these men got to him first. She knew he wasnt about to agree; he didnt get all that land by being pushed around. She had to find him first and fast.
    She also had a feeling the storm didnt have anything to do with the fire last night. It was just a way to cover up what really happened. Only now she had to find a way to prove it.

    I was born in New York but, grew up in central Florida where I still live today with my husband, dog and cat. I married at 16 and had 3 adoring boys that I love so much. I remarried at 37 to the love of my life and now enjoy reading and writing. I had fun writing this book and I hope you enjoy reading it. I hope to get better and write many more.
