Deep Canyon Rising

People change. Desires change. Situations change. Tucker Beaumont knows these facts. He also knows that people fear change. He does not know how frightening change can be until it happens to him. Beaumont rides into Waller City to take a job only to find out he had been tricked and the job is not what he was told it would be. He falls for a girl and gets tangled up in an ongoing range war. His independent nature is altered by the fight he shouldn't have gotten involved in, by the love that he knows he had no right to feel, and by the ranching he undertakes to stay in the fight and to protect the girl. Tuck had promised himself not to ever get involved in the troubles of others. Now he gets in the middle of this fight. The range war takes all of his fighting skill and savvy. It takes other people to help him through the battles that rage in his heart and mind. Tuck came to California dreaming of a ranch of his own. He gets a ranch sooner than expected. The ranch is adequate as a war headquarters, but as a working cattle ranch, it leaves much to be desired. Lucy O'Shea is a spunky woman who hates to admit that she needs help. However, she is sure that what she wants is a man who will join with others. She wants someone who will work with others for the common good.
