    About this series

    Tap Andrews has left his past behind. He's no longer a Wyoming lawman backing down any mobs, nor a Brand Inspector dodging rustler's bullets. He has loaded up the wagon and is moving the very pregnant Pepper and their 11-year old ward to a seemingly perfect new family life in Montana. His old friend Stack Lowery has invited him to partner on the 50-thousand acres of timbered range land called the Slash Bar Ranch. There are a few surprises though, such as cows in the front room and Indians camped in the back yard. Then there's the pack of outlaws raiding the neighborhood, and two inept bank robbers bumbling through. Of course the pacifist neighbors could use some help with the people wanting them off the land. Tap again takes up his guns, steels his courage, and hits his knees to help settle this part of the Old West.

      Pepper Paige is tired of her life as a dance hall girl, and tired of fearing Jordan Beckett, a violent patron who has turned his attentions on her. When a stagecoach wrecks and an injured woman dies in her room, Pepper assumes her identity and leaves town. The dead woman was a refined, educated Christian on her way to marry a rancher she knew only through letters. Pepper chooses to assume that role. What she doesn't know is, the rancher has been killed by Indians and Tap Andrews is now passing himself off as the rancher. What will happen when the two meet?

      Tap Andrews is tired of fighting every gun-toting bounty hunter crossing his path. He's innocent, and he sets out to Denver to prove it. Pepper Paige would go with him but she just can't return to Denver and face her past. That is, until Carter Dillard reappears in her life. Pepper must strike a deal that once again forces her to face a past she'd much rather forget. What she doesn't plan for is being taken to Denver and an unexpected reunion with Tap. What happens when their paths collide? Can they look beyond each other's past to their future together? Will their new found love and faith survive?

      Married life for Tap and Pepper isn't turning out quite the way they planned. The ranch is gone and they've moved to Cheyenne where Tap finds himself a job as acting marshal in a town that has little regard for the law. And it's not a pretty sight! He soon discovers just how hard it is to simultaneously hold off a vigilante crowd hungry for a lynching, control a wayward deputy who thinks he should be in charge, keep his lovely wife from worrying herself sicker, and uncover who's behind the trouble in Cheyenne. It's enough to push his patience to the breaking point.

      In only two weeks Tap Andrews will tip his hat and say "so long" to bachelorhood. Normally that would be enough time to take care of business and finalize wedding plans. But considering his knack for finding trouble, it may take him longer. For instance, there's a gang of rustlers invading his ranch, a missed bank payment he didn't know about, a sniper taking potshots at him, and problems at the local dance hall. In fact, there's so much trouble that it's likely he'll miss his own wedding! But never fear Tap's word is good, even if his timing's not.

      All Tap and Pepper Andrews want to do is settle down, buy a small ranch, get a few head of cattle, and start raising a family. But nothing is ever that easy for the ex-convict and his former dance-hall girl trying to break from the past. It seems no matter where they go or what they do, the past is already there ahead of them. Tap's job as brand inspector for the cattle association keeps him smack in the middle of trouble. One day he's holding off rustlers, the next he's babysitting Texas ranchers and trying to clear his name of murder charges. Every day he tries to keep from getting shot and worrying Pepper into birthing the baby too soon. It's a lot to ask from a man with a new horse that won't stay still long enough for him to get in the saddle. There's all that, and the real trouble is just about to start.
