Mira Loma

By R.L. Lee

"What do I know about the West, or ranching?" Rolfe demanded of his stepmother. "I would make a silly ass out of myself."

"Maybe," Metta conceded with undisguised delight.

In the spring of 1877, Rolfe Honeywell is living a privileged yet unhappy life in Boston. Observing him squander both his time and prospects, his stepmother stuns him with a glimpse into her past and her expectation that he visit her spirited ranching family in the hardscrabble New Mexico Territory.

A challenge accepted. A destiny altered.

MEET MIRA LOMA'S CHARACTERS

Metta Maria - A woman with a closely guarded secret. She was sending her stepson on a fool's errand. But if she knew Rolfe, he would not be deceived.

Rolfe Honeywell - Would learn a few lessons about the power of one's convictions, and the blessings of a close-knit family denied him as a child.

Jed O'Donoughue - An honorable and contented man who admitted he was incapable of controlling two things-his bowels or his temper.

Riff O'Donoughue - Spurning a powerful hankering for a rival rancher's daughter, he retreated to his predictable world that did not provoke him to question the staidness of his life.

Comfort Stiller - Enamored with Riff O'Donoughue since they were children. And she was determined to have him-despite their feuding families.

Lainie O'Donoughue - Two parts tomboy to one part half-grown woman. Hell bent on living life her way. A wild spirit to tame-a woman to win.

Cane Kaplow - As unpredictable as a funnel cloud. Was he the villain townspeople thought him to be? Or was he evading a sorrowful, troubled past?
