Westin Legacy
Alice Sharpe
From the moment Echo De Gris mysteriously returned to the Open Sky Ranch, Adam Westin felt the sparks fly. The girl he'd known was all grown up, however, trouble still followed her wherever she went.She'd barely been in town a day when she was shot at, chased, and stumbled upon a dying man. And yet the high-spirited beauty insisted on being involved in ferreting out the truth behind the town's deadly secrets. Frustrated with the slow investigation, Adam and Echo took refuge in some much-needed tension relief. But their reprieve was short-lived when whoever was targeting Echo suddenly set his sights on destroying the Westin family ranch–and the man who took pride in its legacy.…
“I don’t want you here, Echo,” he said, trying sincerity. “It’s too dangerous.”
“I know you don’t. But you’re injured and someone needs to cover your back.”
“And that someone is you,” he said, and the tone of his voice let her know what he thought of that idea.
“I’m better than nothing,” she said, and then added, “Don’t say I’m not. You know it’s true. If these men are as horrible as you say they are, two people are better than one.”
“Not when one of them is a pretty woman,” he said, “which is why I’m asking you for the last time to turn the truck around and drive to the airport.”
She spared him another glance “I’m relieved to hear you say this is the last time you’re asking. It’s getting monotonous. Listen, Adam, I promise I’ll go meekly away after this little visit. You’ll never have to even think of me again.”
He opened his mouth to speak and closed it again without uttering a word. What was the point? He knew he’d never stop thinking about her.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Adam Westin —It’s up to him to stop the looting of the prehistoric burial cave located on Open Sky land before an explosive threat from the past destroys everything—and everyone—he loves.
Echo De Gris —She spent her first years of life on the Open Sky. She’s back now, but just for a visit. Becoming reacquainted with her childhood nemesis makes her wonder if she’ll ever want to leave. A killer makes her wonder if she’ll live long enough to get away.
Cody Westin —He’s determined not to make the same mistake his father made. He wants his wife back—is he too late?
Brice Westin —Is it true he doesn’t know where Adam’s mother disappeared to all those years ago, or is it possible he’s known all along and will now do anything to protect that secret?
Lonnie Nielsen —He’s in for a heap of trouble. Or is he causing it?
Del Halverson —One of Brice’s oldest friends. What exactly did he do when he left Wyoming? And is he doing it again?
J.D. Oakes —Another old pal with a hazy past. Is it finally catching up with him?
Pete Westin —Echo’s stepfather. Is it a coincidence that he left the Open Sky after Adam’s mother’s disappearance, and returned the day the violence escalated?
David Lassiter —The cowpoke who ran off with Adam’s mother. Or did he?
Willet Garvey —He’s no fan of the Westins. How far will hatred and greed take him?
Hank Garvey —Willet’s son, Hank is determined to exact revenge at any cost.
