    About this ebook

    A small Western town is dying a slow and painful death. Key to its survival are the Ledger sheriffs and the Monroes, owners of one of the largest dude ranches in Wyoming.

    As the beautiful rodeo queen and equestrian goddess at the ranch, men covet Julie Monroe. But the truth is, she loves her horses more than she likes most people. In particular, Daryl Ledger, the sheriffs deputy, rubs her chaps the wrong way. Underage, Julie lies to get out of a date with him and goes to a bar with a controversial girl named Katie, whos in deep trouble with the law. That night, Julie finds herself pulled into the center of a dark and dangerous circle. That night, Julies life changes forever.

    Julie could have had it all, they said. Instead, to save herself from shame and discovery of her sins, she flees to save herself and her unborn child and she doesnt return for twenty years.

    The Ledger Law is a tale of survival and self-invention. Its a story of loss and redemption and a triumph for anyone who believes in happy endings.
