From the bestselling author of the Gideon Johann Western Series, the Wild Horse Westerns Series, and the Hand Of Western Series comes When The Ties Bind—a story of loss, love, acceptance, and revenge!
With the death of his pa, Wyatt Roundtree not only lost the last of his family, but he also lost their ranch at the hands of an unscrupulous banker and a vengeful rancher. The turn of events leaves the young man wondering if he’s even capable of surviving on his own. Homeless and despondent, Wyatt departs Gunnison, Colorado hoping to make a better life for himself.
When father and daughter, Flame and Sissy Calhoun, rescue Wyatt from a pair of highwaymen, the young man finds he’s amongst kindred spirits dealing with tremendous loss. Against his daughter’s wishes, the boisterous Flame invites Wyatt to join their tribe as he likes to call themselves as they pursue Hangdog Johnson and his gang to avenge the murders of their family. Wyatt, backward and lacking in confidence, and the coming-of-age Sissy, find their time together to be a source of camaraderie and frustration while they struggle to understand their feelings for one another. Along the way, each member of the trio will prove their mettle as they chase Hangdog and plot to return Wyatt’s ranch to him. With unshakable determination and unending loyalty to each other, the three of them will right the wrongs they’ve endured or die trying.
Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you listening.
