Graciela of the Border

About the Book

Jeff Collins knew horses. He worked as a horse trainer on the Sierra Diablo Ranch in Arizona, and he was mighty good at it. But he wanted more. He'd dream for years of having his own ranch. He saw his chance when he won a blue roan in a high stakes poker game. This wasn't just any roan; it was carrying the foal of a great racehorse, and that foal was Jeff's ticket to his dreams. When that roan was stolen and herded along with other horses toward the Mexican border, Jeff knew where he had to go. But he didn't know what would be waiting for him when he got there. The border was a dangerous place, a harsh land filled with bandits and outlaws-and the woman who would change his life.
