The Maverick’s Surprise Family

Book excerpt: He’s a loner…. Outdoor adventure guide Lucas Landry is happiest leading bucket-list wilderness trail rides, because on horseback, he doesn’t need his despised cane. But he returns to civilization when potential biological relatives contact him. He’s never sought the birth family that abandoned him, but curiosity overcomes suspicion, and he finds himself in Grand, Montana, where he hears an origin story unlike anything he expected. An emotional reunion with siblings he never knew existed leaves him shaken and vulnerable.
