Curran Glen: The Currans, Book Two (The Manhattan Stories 6)

The Civil War ended, but the turmoil of D’Arcy Curran’s life did not. Rather than give up the child she raised from birth, sixteen-year-old D’Arcy kidnaps her sister Suzanne’s son. The only safe place for her and little Danny is home…Manhattan, Kansas.

Once there, D’Arcy learns that danger comes in many forms, and some of them are too close for comfort. Her father is murdered by marauding Jayhawkers. Her mother is lost in grief. D’Arcy faces the disapproval of many when she wears trousers, carries a gun, and takes over the responsibility for the farm.

She’s drawn to Royce Quinn, her foreman, who years earlier swore his love to Suzanne. When her sister comes home, D’Arcy fears Suzanne is there to take Danny away from her…and maybe Royce as well.
