Lindy Larsen Series

She has friends. Lives in a nice house in a swanky neighbourhood. Has been accepted to first-rate university a thousand miles away and has to leave in a few weeks. Why is she on the road with a bunch of strangers?   Lindy Jones longs to connect with her birth father, but all she's ever known about him is his name and that he rides the rodeo. Her mother refuses to talk about him except to say he has no interest in her. A chance sighting of a cowboy leaving their house on the last day of the Calgary Stampede makes her doubt that; she determines to find him that night, even though it means sneaking away. When she learns he's already left, she falls in with a group of rodeo cowboys on their way to the next rodeo, telling herself it's the only way she'll ever find him.   Will she find her father? What if he really doesn't want anything to do with her, as her mother's been telling her all these years? And what about the handsome young bull rider who's winning all the silver buckles—will he win her heart?

Cattle rustling, dark money and murder in a place where nobody even locks their doors. When Lindy Larsen's marriage ended, she moved to the ranch in The Badlands she inherited from her father. It has never been profitable so she takes a job in town and plans a farmgate store to put the ranch on a solid financial footing. She gets a promotion and begins a promising romance. The future looks bright. When some of their cattle are stolen it's a serious financial blow. They miss a payment on their line of credit, tanking chances of getting the loan they need to finance the store. An unexpected source of funding presents itself and the store becomes a reality.   But the store soon runs into a roadblock and the rustlers haven't gone away, either. Using all-terrain vehicles and semi-trailers, they strike fast and disappear. A rancher who catches them in the act is murdered. Lindy thinks she knows who's behind it. She pokes around hoping to find proof, and uncovers what she thinks is damning evidence. She reports her suspicions to the RCMP, but they can't do much. When her nephew goes missing, she has no choice but to act.   Do the rustlers have her nephew? Can she find him in time? Or will they disappear into the Badlands like so many others, never to be seen again?   "Fans of the Yellowstone tv series will love After The Dance."-Patricia Parker, author of The Abode.

A new job in another town seems like the answer to a prayer. But taking it could be a fatal decision.   Lindy Larsen's job at Western Savings & Loan is what keeps her ranch afloat, so when she's offered a promotion she accepts, even though the bigger paycheque means moving to the remote town of Katawasis Lake.   Only days into her new job, Lindy runs afoul of the manager's unconventional rules. She has no choice but to do as he asks, but can't shake the feeling he's hiding something, and it may not be legal. The regional bank auditors are suspicious too, and recruit Lindy in a sting operation. Then there's a spate of bodies found in the lake and the victims all have one thing in common: ties to the bank. Lindy finds herself in the middle of something that's more than fraud and bigger than just the bank manager. She has stumbled into a tangled maze of criminal activity more widespread than they realized and she's attracted the attention of some very dangerous people.   Lindy has a target on her back. Will she be the next floating corpse?

Lindy Larsen promised K.C. she would stop snooping into other people's business. Her obsession has landed her in danger before, after all. But when her suspicious are aroused, it's a promise she can't keep.   Lindy and K.C. are back at Wacasko-Wâti Ranch, looking forward to a drama-free life together. Then the excavation for the building K.C. needs for his business uncovers skeletons, and they didn't die of natural causes.   With K.C.'s building project on hold for the murder investigation, the ranch's chronic cash flow problem balloons. Renting the unused hayloft seems like the perfect solution. But why is the tenant so mysterious? And why are the crates they moved in so heavy?    One by one, the murder victims are identified, and they're not from the distant past. The killer is still out there. And the trail leads right to Wacasko-Wâti.
