Synopsis

1920s, Blue Moon, Montana. The small cattle town is alight with the excitement
of cars, telephones, and airplanes. But as new inventions and new roles for
women collide with Prohibition and the rising battle between gangsters and the
FBI, Blue Moon finds itself—and some of its most infamous residents and
powerful families—at a crossroads, and in battles of their own, between hearts
and minds …
Heir to the Hollister Ranch on his mother’s side, Mason Dollarhide is back home
after a five-year prison sentence for smuggling bootleg liquor. Cynical and daring,
he’s already up to his old tricks, having his goods trafficked to him by plane. …
Until the pilot is injured in a crash and captured by federal agents.
Ruby Weaver learned to fly from her smuggler father. To keep him from a harsh
prison sentence, she agrees to take over his route and go undercover to help the
Feds break up a bootlegging ring. Mason is only one part of that large operation,
but he’s the rugged, rebellious, and tantalizingly irreverent part that makes an
impression. Against her better judgement, Ruby finds herself falling for him,
fighting an attraction that could jeopardize them both, while harboring a secret
that could destroy any hope of a future together …
Mason has never met a woman quite like Ruby. Not only is she brave and
beautiful, but she somehow understands his ways—and may even inspire him to
change them. The first step will be trusting her enough to open his heart …
While the fire between Ruby and Mason smolders, other star-crossed Blue Moon
romances blaze, as old family rivalries between the Dollarhides and the Calders
continue. But when tables unexpectedly turn, some dreams may go up in smoke …
The epic tale of the settling of the American West comes to vivid life in this
inspiring saga of love, hope and endurance.
