Guilty until proven innocent...that was always the McAllister family motto, wasn't it? Cole Daniels will never forget it--no matter how interested he is in pretty, kind Leigh McAllister. Thanks to lies told by her uncle, Cole's father was wrongly imprisoned. Now that Cole and Leigh are both back in Wolf Creek, Wyoming, he's sure that Leigh holds the key to clearing his father's good name. But his quest for justice is complicated by the escalating sabotage of Leigh's vet clinic, his growing feelings for her, and the determination of someone who will stop at nothing--not even murder--to keep the truth about the past hidden...in this second book of the Snow Canyon Ranch trilogy....where sinister family secrets lurk in the majestic Rockies. "Leigh McAllister returned to Wolf Creek, Wyoming to take over a vet practice. Cole returned to discover the truth about his father's conviction for murder many years earlier and why Leigh lied on the stand—or did she? When trouble hounds Leigh and rumors swirl around both Cole and Leigh, they must somehow work together to discover the truth, before more die. A mystery romance the way it should be with a breath-taking setting, well-drawn characters and a solid plot that draws the reader in as it draws Leigh and Cole together. This sequel to HARD EVIDENCE is another winner for Rustand. "
-- Reviewer Carolyn R Scheidies, http://idealinhope.com/bookreviews/fiction.html FOUR STARS: "Cole Daniels just bought property that the McAllister family had owned for decades. From the start problems exist between him and Leigh McAllister, the new vet in the area. Cole's primary goal is to discover why his father died in prison after being convicted of murder. Leigh's conflict is her once-broken heart when it comes to Cole. Also, someone doesn't want her there, and all sorts of things are happening to her clinic. Who really has the Vendetta (4) -- Cole, or someone else entirely? Roxanne Rustand delivers a quick read with strong suspense."
