Summary"In "Drifter's Choice," Wade Pierce has no particular ambition and a reputation for irresponsibility. No one is more surprised than Pierce when he learns he has inherited his dead uncle's controlling interest in a small bank. When he is confronted by Sam Leavitt, who tries to force him to sell out, Pierce becomes stubborn. But he is not a gunman and he isn't prepared to commit murder. In "High Desert," María Mulrooney is held a virtual prisoner in a convent while her uncle controls the vast holdings that belonged to her father. María sees an offer of marriage from rancher Dan Halliday as an opportunity. Under her father's will, if she marries she has the right to assume ownership of her inheritance. Halliday sees an opportunity to get ahead. María and Dan are both tough and determined, but is it enough?"--Provided by publisher.
