Season of Fear by Christine Bush is a contemporary western romantic suspense, originally out from Thomas Bouregy & Co in 1983 and now re-published via ePublishing Works! which specializes in genre backlist.
Currently free @
iTunes (available to Canadians) and being price-matched at
Amazon (may not be available to all regions).
Some of the earlier ePublishing Works! time-limited freebies available at Kobo and iTunes have now also apparently been pricematched. I'll try to update the posts later when I have time, but for now you can run a search on their name to dig them up.
Description
A Classic Mystery Romance.
Robin North takes the job as housekeeper at the infamous Ridley Ranch in Montana on pretext. Her cousin assures her that her made-up references and letter of introduction will never be discovered.
Robin falls instantly in love with the "Big Sky Country", but the Ridley family is another matter. Handsome Alex Ridley has been a grieving widower for five years. The arrogant teenage kids and their lonely little brother are aloof and full of trouble. Even the townsfolk steer clear, as fear and doubt fester. How did Laura Ridley die?
Despite better judgment, Robin sets out to restore peace to Ridley Ranch by solving the mystery of Laura's death. But what if the killer turns out to be Alex, the complex and rugged rancher who has stolen her heart and is unaware of the secrets within it?
