Dusty Richards Synopses: The Horse Creek Incident by Dusty Richards is the first book in the Herschel Baker series. Horse Creek, Montana, is under siege by a ruthless cattle baron with both sides of the law in his pocket. But when Herschel Baker’s friend is murdered in cold blood – and the sheriff refuses to investigate – Baker must take things into his own hands.
In Outlaw Queen by Dusty Richards, Rath Macon has returned home from a cattle drive and only to discover that his wife has left him. So in the Kansas blue stem grass country in 1872, he meets an attractive woman with a past of her own. Seems Mary Ann Cates was the widow of a slain outlaw. Together they stand up against prejudice and many who were still fighting the Civil War in order to begin a new life together.
