Cassie Robbins Lane has always lived in the shadow of her great¿grandmother, the legendary Prairie Rose - a woman whose life blazed across the frontier and whose mysterious death has been polished smooth by historians' lies. But Cassie isn't one for legends or museum stories. She's a bronc rider, battered but unbroken, chasing eight seconds of truth with every wild ride. When an old letter surfaces hinting that Prairie Rose's end was no accident, Cassie sets out across the windswept plains to uncover the real story - and to face the ghosts that still haunt her family's name. In a world where the past won't stay buried, Cassie must decide how much of herself she's willing to risk for the truth. Because some whispers in the prairie never die-they just wait to be heard.
