Irish-born Margaret Mary Flaherty leaves New York City for Colorado, carrying the signed proof her brother Seamus needs to keep greedy landowners from stealing his ranch.

Joshua Turner, U.S. Marshal, is headed to Colorado to investigate charges of cattle rustling and land fraud.

Their paths cross in the middle of enemy territory, where Marshal Turner comes to the aid when Maggie’s stagecoach is attacked by hostile Indians.

One look at the handsome Marshal, and Maggie swears her destiny’s calling to her from the depths of his brillant green eyes.

One look at the fiery-haired woman with eyes the color of cornflowers, and Joshua wonders if he’s finally found the woman who will teach him how to love.

C. H. Admirand’s long love of the Old West was kindled by a cross-country trip to Colorado and the Southwest. She keeps it alive by watching silver screen legends Roy Rogers, John Wayne, and Gary Cooper.

Admirand attributes her love for writing to her seventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Mildred Smith, her creativity to her Celtic roots, and her love for reading to her parents. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and their two children.

The Marshal’s Destiny is Admirand’s first novel for AVALON.
