Will love survive when truth takes aim at their secrets?

Sharpshooter Preston Baker has spent a lifetime confronting danger head-on. So when a heartfelt letter arrives from his big sister asking for help, he doesn’t hesitate to put his traveling show career on hold and journey to her remote desert ranch, determined to make amends for past failures. What he doesn’t expect is to discover his long-lost little sister and her best friend, Lucy, are both hard at work on the ranch.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Lucy Arlidge’s decision to travel to a remote desert ranch was born as much from desperation as friendship. Fleeing San Francisco may have saved Lucy’s life, but the decision left others in danger. To thwart the evil plans of those who pursue her and her family, Lucy must keep her new gem-mining operation concealed and her secrets safe.

Preston is drawn to the mysterious woman, despite her plans to marry the neighboring rancher. Lucy’s quiet strength and undeniable beauty beckon him like a campfire in the wilderness, offering light amidst the dark memories and deepest fears resurrected by the presence of his sisters. But as danger closes in, Preston and Lucy must confront their pasts to save not only their own futures, but the lives of everyone they love.

Historical Fiction is a favorite genre of mine. Shoot at the Sunset by Kathleen Denly is Book 5 in the Chaparral Hearts series. I have been enjoying this series since the beginning and was excited to read Book 5.

The setting of this story is in the California Desert in The storyline of Preston and Lucy's story drew me in quickly and I could not stop reading until I finished the book.  Preston is a Sharpshooter and he is constantly traveling. He heads back home to help his sister on her Desert Ranch after he receives a letter from her. Lucy fled her home in San Francisco to escape danger and when Preston returns to the Ranch they meet. Lucy Alridge is good friends with Preston's sister and has been staying at the Ranch. I LOVE how Preston and Lucy had an immediate connection and how a friendship turned into something more. They both have a past that they must be able to leave in the past for a good future together. They rely on God to help them through the rough times. I really like the Historical Era of this book. The Author does a great job of keeping to the details of that Era accurate.  I TRULY enjoyed the entire series and I HIGHLY recommend this series. Although the books can be read as Stand Alone books, I recommend reading the series in order! AWESOME BOOK!
