Steers and Stowaways
(2025)(The sixth book in the Cowboy Brand of Justice series)
A novel by Jo Grafford
A Lonestar detective works undercover on a cattle transport to put a name and face to a dangerous rustler…and encounters a lovely stowaway who may or may not be the criminal he’s looking for.
Tucker Pratt is a man with a past he’s not proud of, which is how he blends so easily with the seedier side of town while working undercover. He always gets his guy. Or his gal, in this case. For the first time since pinning on his badge, however, he hopes the trail of clues won’t lead to an arrest. At least not to hers.
Mallory Evans is sick and tired of her cattle going missing. Someone is clearly trying to put her ranch out of business. Unfortunately, the police aren’t making much progress with the case, so she hires Lonestar Security to launch a private investigation. In a moment of desperation, she takes things a step further and sneaks aboard the next cattle trailer to personally ensure her livestock reaches its destination. She’s immediately plunged into more trouble than she bargained for — with her heart in the most trouble of all!
