A seemingly pastoral tale of aging gracefully and finding long-sought peace, Shooter's Treasure by Kay A. Oliver soon spirals into a rugged and thrilling love story with a healthy serving of wild west action.

Kristy Oaks – "Shooter" to her friends – is a divorced academic and a lifelong skeptic transitioning into retirement, but her newly purchased ranch holds dangerous secrets hidden just below the topsoil. She is quick to find indigenous allies and a local love interest, but her arrival also brings suspicion, gossip, thieves, and dirty cops who are led by little more than greed. Never one to back down from a fight, Shooter lives up to her nickname in defense of her tiny piece of heaven, and her tremendous pile of treasure, in this fast-moving tale of love and money.
