Silver Prairies

0/5 ( ratings)

For Benjamin Warley, the end of the Civil War meant very little. He had nothing left in South Carolina to return to. The life he should have inherited had been stripped from him. Meeting Joseph McCoy sent Ben into Texas to organize cattle herds to drive north to the railroad in Abilene, Kansas. It was a far cry from managing his father's plantation, but at least nobody knew him in Texas. He could put down roots and start a family on the southern plains, perhaps with the fetching red-haired woman at the diner.

Kenna McCrea had raised her brood of brothers and sisters since she was twelve years old after the death of their mother. But her brothers were grown men - or as good as - and she couldn't keep everyone under the roof of their diner once the rumors of massive cattle drives reached San Antonio. But at least her father had refused the offer to join a cattle drive and run its chuckwagon.

In the fall, McCoy sends Ben a wire and demands one more herd be driven north. Wranglers are scarce, many having stayed in Kansas. Ben will need to hire both of Miss McCrea's brothers again, even knowing how much it will distress her. Then a trio rides in who'd served in the cavalry with Ben. Three men who knew his secret.
