Morgan Wilson is home; husbandless, fatherless, and too well educated for her own good. Determined to run the ranch she's inherited in her own way, she hasn't reckoned on the return of the one man who broke her heart. Roth Jason, the boy she loved as a girl, is now a bitter man determined to revenge what he'd always believed was Morgan's betrayal. Now a hired gun picking off outriders, he's plotting to destroy Morgan's and the other ranchers' herds before they can reach the railhead.
John Marcus Macgruder, once on the wrong side of the law himself, is now a respected, if feared, landowner. Returning from Europe where he'd sought a wife in the salons of the best families, he knew he'd found the woman for him when Morgan asked him to hold her yarn while she knitted on the train heading to California. When Roth Jason kidnaps Morgan, John straps on his guns once more.
Morgan must choose between an old passion and the man who offers her both her freedom and his unconditional love. How she retains her independence, her herd, and her land is Morgan's story.
Morgan's Land was a finalist for the Medicine Pipe Bearer's Award, given by the Western Writers of America to the best first western novel.
