The Last Ride

From the bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance, The Parisian Heist, and Everyone Is Lying to You comes a thrill ride set against the backdrop of an exclusive Wyoming dude ranch, where the wealthy come to play cowboy while the staff cater to their every whim . . . including murder.

There’s a thousand ways to die in the Wild West. It only takes one.

Marley Morgan has her summer vacation at the upscale Eden Dude Ranch all planned. Sunrise horse rides, cocktails under endless skies, afternoons in the sauna, square dancing at dusk—a perfect romantic getaway that might just save her marriage. But she has no idea her much younger husband has very different plans.

Grace Duncan escaped to Eden more than a decade ago to bury her sordid past and start over. As head wrangler, she has become as skilled at handling high-end guests as she is with the horses. She’s built a new life at the ranch, including a relationship with its hottest cowboy. But now that relationship is in jeopardy, as her past is threatening to catch up with her and Grace is running out of options.

As loyalties shift and motives blur, desperation, opportunity, and money may transform the most unlikely people into potential killers.

Set against the seductive fantasy of the American West, The Last Ride is a sexy, twisty thriller about marriage, reinvention, desire, and just how far we’ll go for the chance to start over.

The White Lotus meets Yellowstone with a dash of Dirty Dancing.
