Synopsis: INHERITED TROUBLE
When Alexander Jessup moves with his two daughters to the Badlands to run a ranch, he’s unprepared for the West’s deathly perils. But despite the dangers, his daughter Edana is determined to manage the Diamond B. And it may be possible, thanks to ranch’s foreman, Neal Bonner, and his partner, Jericho, an expert gunman.
But Edana’s headstrong sister, Isolda, has other plans. She has no interest in herding cows—or in polite society, for that matter. So she latches onto cutthroat conman Beaumont Adams, and the two scheme to take over the Diamond B with the help of the worst criminals in the Badlands.
Now Edana, Neal, and Jericho must face down a pack of stone-cold thieves and murderers to save their ranch—or die trying.
