The sixth book in a brand new Mountain Man adventure series from D.M. Haggard! Still mourning the loss of his woman, Wilder Hawk leaves his tribal homeland, bound for the northern Rockies he explored and came to love on his first mountain man journey. A chance encounter on the trail, rescuing a young cowboy from attempted robbery, entangles Wilder with the Triple Bar Ranch. The cowboy is the only son of the ranch’s hard-headed owner, Edmund Butcher, who’s currently contending with Mormon settlers wanting range land for farming and local Indian tribes stealing cattle for food. Suspicious at first, Butcher thaws toward Wilder and, at his request, lets him winter in a sturdy cabin halfway up Butcher Mountain. The hazards of the mountain—vicious predators, blizzards, and killing cold—test Wilder’s endurance in every way. When a wolf pack sets its sights on him, he battles for his life against hunters as clever and persistent as he is. Only his mountain-man skills and Apache wisdom can save him…and maybe a little help from a friend, but is it already too late? Grab your copy today!

D. M. Haggard, aka D. M. Horridge, was born in Texas, raised on cactus, dust, and a strong family. When I was very young, I would visit my uncle's farm in San Antonio and work side by side with my seven cousins baling hay, swimming in a round cow trough, and hunting rattlesnakes. I've hunted and fished all over the United States, and have worked like a trojan on my own ranch in Texas. I've written short stories and professional articles for a variety of marketing and professional magazines, but only recently started writing western adventure stories. I like learning about the real characters of western history and use them in a fictional way. I feel like I am preserving their memory and the heritage they left for us over time. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife of 55 years, two terrific children, and a million friends. I try to leave a message in every book that says to the reader, "we are all part of this world of ours and we need to work together to keep it from falling apart." My family is the most important part of my life. I have also been blessed with four fabulous grandchildren and two spouses of our children who have brought a wonderful depth to our family and extended family. One of my favorite subjects is the Texas Rangers, a group of tough, honorable, and law-abiding men and women. Only recently I have begun a series of children's books named "The Amazing Adventures of Two Boys." They represent many of the stories my father told to my brother and me as children. Always exciting, but not frightening, they give me great pleasure to write and publish on Amazon under my father's name, Don Horridge, and my name D. M. Horridge. All of the proceeds from these children's books are donated to children's ministries throughout the world. Thanks for listening.
