Someplace North, Someplace Wild

Cody Brandon's dream seemed within reach. After years of planning and hard work at Texas A&M, the young cowboy finally landed a ranch manager position in British Columbia's mountain wilderness—the first step toward owning his own spread in the rugged Canadian north. But when his truck breaks down in the Idaho backcountry and he stops to help a stranded driver beside Bishop Lake, his carefully laid plans begin to unravel. Within hours, he's the prime suspect in a murder he didn't commit.
Arrested by the RCMP for immigration violations and deported from Canada, Cody watches his future crumble. His dream job at Grand Valley Ranch is gone. His quarter-million-dollar inheritance—dependent on maintaining steady employment—hangs by a thread. And Julie Stewart, the beautiful schoolteacher who captured his heart in the remote village of Wolf Creek, seems further away than ever. When Cody discovers he's been framed by a cunning killer and betrayed by a corrupt county attorney, he faces an impossible choice: trust a justice system that's already failed him, or take matters into his own hands.
With only his faith in God's providence to guide him and time running out, Cody must navigate grizzly country, expose a murderer, and outwit the law—all while fighting his way back to the woman and the wilderness he can't forget. From the high plains of Texas to the mountains of British Columbia, through near-death encounters with wildlife and corrupt officials alike, Cody discovers that when everything is stripped away, God's faithfulness remains. A gripping tale of courage, romance, and redemption for fans of Louis L'Amour and Francine Rivers.
