Love can heal the deepest wounds... A sense of duty brings a soldier home...but a passionate cowboy makes him want to stay. After his brother's tragic death, Tripp has to leave the army and return to New Mexico to take care of his mother while his father is in prison for arson. Seeking work at the J-Bar Ranch, Tripp is immediately drawn to injured cowboy Lucho Reyes, whose foot was accidentally crushed by a rescue horse. But will the sins of the father interfere with the desires of the son? Tripp's father may be responsible for the death of Lucho's grandfather. Now Tripp must balance caring for his mother, repairing his father's damages, and trying to win the heart of a man who has every reason to hate him and his family... Praise for Z. A. Maxfield: "Z. A. Maxfield has a lyrical way of writing that makes it easy to escape into the world that she creates for her characters."--Night Owl Reviews "... The thing that you managed to pull off that made [...] me happy was that ePistols at Dawn was also a damn good story and a hot, exciting romance."--Dear Author "Maxfield has written another gem and a winner. Run, don't walk, to get a copy of Stirring Up Trouble today."--ReviewsbyJessewave.com "Secret Light is not necessarily a feel good story but it's wonderfully written and highlights a more realistic look at gay men."--Long and Short Reviews "The characters are strongly written and will pull you into their story right from the beginning."--Three Crow Press about Gasp! Z. A. Maxfield started writing in 2007 on a dare from her children and never looked back. Pathologically disorganized, and perennially optimistic, she writes as much as she can, reads as much as she dares, and enjoys her time with family and friends. If anyone asks her how a wife and mother of four manages to find time for a writing career, she'll answer, "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you give up housework." Her published books include My Cowboy Heart, My Heartache Cowboy, Crossing Borders, Epic Award finalist St. Nacho's, Drawn Together, ePistols at Dawn, Notturno, Stirring Up Trouble, and Vigil.
