Orion's Prey

Summer 1896, Idaho's Silver Valley. Following the death of his wife and baby son, Cade Rivas returns home for what he hopes will be a peaceful reunion with his much younger sister, Elena. But in these far northern mountains shot through with as much treachery as precious ore, he finds Elena pregnant by his old friend, Jamie Gallagher, and Jamie long gone. Paid off? Run out of town? Murdered? Determined to prove his estranged stepbrother and Orion mine owner Jordan Trudeau guilty of killing not only Jamie but also Cade's father eight years before, Cade lodges at a boarding house run by the lovely but secretive Nora Blair. Long wary of love, Nora must now choose Jordan or Cade - or continued independence. As tensions between Jordan and his miners escalate into a violent strike and Elena's pregnancy turns dangerous, Cade risks his life pursuing the truth - and his heart pursuing Nora.
