Blessing

Blessing is the second book in a series called The Widows Of Wildcat Ridge. An explosion and fire in the Lucky Lady Mine in Wildcat Ridge, Utah, caused a total collapse, killing an estimated 97 men. With the death of her father last month, Blessing Odell inherited the largest ranch in that part of Utah, the Rafter O. She goes by the nickname Buster and wears men's overalls but they can't disguise her regal beauty and natural grace. She is also generous to the community, which is why she's splitting proceeds from the sale of 100 horses with the widows of Wildcat Ridge. Thad King has tracked stolen horses to the Rafter O Ranch. He's determined to capture and see punished the horse thieves who beat his former employer before stealing his horses. He is successful in being hired to work on the ranch, but he doesn't want to believe Buster Odell or her father had anything to do with stealing horses. Convinced of her father's innocence, Buster and Thad work together to discover the real culprit, even though it leads them on a dangerous journey.
