With her return to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, New York Times bestselling author Lindsay McKenna shows how love can find a way out of the darkness...
A fresh start—that’s all Devorah McGuire wants. As a former Marine and current Ranger with the US Forest Service, she’s grown accustomed to keeping others safe. But when the unthinkable happens, she can only hope that a transfer to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, will allow her to put the past behind her for good.
Dev’s mentor at Grand Tetons National Park is fellow canine handler and horseman Sloan Rankin. He shows Dev the spectacular trails, never knowing the terror that stalks her every move. Despite her lingering fear, Dev feels an attraction for Sloan as wild as their surroundings.
With Sloan, Dev can envision a new life—a real home. Unless a vengeful man fresh out of prison succeeds in finishing what he started...

Out Rider
Lindsay McKenna
This is a bittersweet note to all of you. Out Rider is the final book of the Wyoming series. Like you, I’ve grown to love Iris Mason of the Elk Horn Ranch and feisty Gus Hunter of the Bar H, the other matriarch of ranching families in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
In this book, I’ve tried to tie up a bunch of loose ends so that my loyal readers know “what happened next” to some of the other characters. I had a lot of fun doing it and I hope it brings out a few chuckles and smiles from you.
The entire series is being put into Audio.com for those who love to listen instead of read. Just type in any of the titles and they’ll be there for your listening enjoyment. I want to thank senior executive editor Tara Gavin for shepherding these last two books of mine (Night Hawk and Out Rider), because it was pure joy working with her in our creative synastry.
I wanted to write Sloan Rankin’s story for a long time. Most people don’t know that the US Forest Service has rangers who are farriers. They go around trimming and shoeing the mules and horses utilized by the Park Service. And I wanted to highlight their service because it’s an important one.
Sloan was a great character to play opposite Devorah McGuire, a US Forest Service ranger. Dev’s story happens more than one would think. She was in the military, a combat dog handler who hunted for IEDs in Afghanistan. Getting a job as a ranger and tracker is a dream come true for Dev. With her trusty female yellow Labrador, Bella, she’s running away from a dangerous situation, turning a page and hoping for a new start out in the Tetons. Only Dev didn’t expect to meet a man and his dog in a highly unusual way. But you’ll have to read the book to find out what happens next! Happy reading!
And thank you for taking this journey with me to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It’s a place I visit every other year with great joy. And I hope I’ve transferred some of the beauty of this magnificent area onto each of you.

To Tara Gavin, senior executive editor, who has shadowed my 36-year career with her magic. What a team we were in the past (1980s–1999) and then now (2013–present). It’s a pleasure sharing this ongoing journey with you.
