A Two Horse Town

Book excerpt: Kate Caraway hates giving lectures at the University of Illinois so much she fears she’ll lose her mind. So, when her student, Nate Springfield, walks into her office with a story of wild horses in danger of slaughter, Kate takes a leave of absence. Forty-eight hours later, she arrives in Two Horse, Montana, one of the most rugged areas in the state. In a race against time, she uses her expertise and influence as a well-respected animal-rights activist to assist Nate’s eighty-two-year-old great-grandmother, Ida, save her herd of wild mustangs. But when Kate stumbles upon a dead body on Ida’s ranch, Kate quickly learns that some people will do anything, including murder, to keep their nefarious scheme from being exposed.
