The Rivals

Bitter Creek, Book 5

By: Joan Johnston

Narrated by: Joan Johnston

Juggling single motherhood and her job as deputy sheriff of Teton County, Sarah Barndollar hasn't lost hope of solving two cold cases of missing young women. When a third vanishes, all hell breaks loose - because, she's the illegitimate daughter of Texas scion Clay Blackthorne and the granddaughter of his mortal enemy King Grayhawk.

The crisis pits the two powerful families against each other in a race against time. Playboy Drew DeWitt, a Blackthorne cousin, insists on taking part in the search - putting him on a collision course with Sarah. Her cop instincts tell her the sexy Texan is trouble.

But when evidence emerges of a conspiracy against the US government, Sarah accepts Drew's high-powered help as she negotiates a shadowy landscape of hidden rivals and ruthless greed where every moment counts in saving lives, including her own.
