A ROMANTIC WESTERN WITH WARTIME INTRIGUE & DANGER

Love, betrayal, gunfights, and stolen kisses highlight this classic novel of a German threat to America's beef herds during WWII – by the woman who pioneered the romantic western!

Dolores Rey was the pampered daughter of the lush Southern California orchards, where the noise and battle of WWII seemed so far way, and had been raised in luxury and affianced to a man of her own kind in whose veins flowed the blood of his titled ancestors.

Roy Pelgren had had his heart broken twice. The first time when color-blindness barred him from his dream of joining the air force and battling Germany in the skies. The second time when his fiancée, a woman of the West he had grown up with and whose love he had believed unshakable, eloped with a lieutenant, resplendent in uniform. But Roy never dreamed that the Nazi menace might come to battle him face-to-face on his isolated ranch in the badlands of Wyoming, or what that meeting would portend for the United States that he loved.

Together and separately Dolores and Roy would be targeted for death, capture, torture and worse. For, saboteurs were at work, and the man directing them aimed not only to destroy the great cattle herds on which America's civilians and troops depended for meat, but their own love for each other. To survive they would need all the courage and vision that had helped their forebearers create the West itself.

Marie de Nervaud was the author of more than twenty book-length western romances, most published during the 1930s and '40s in serial form in the magazines of the era. But due to prevailing prejudices against westerns written by women, only a few were ever published in book form. Her grandparents helped pioneer Oregon in the mid-1800s, and their papers, as well as her own, currently reside in the University of Oregon Library Special Collections Department.
