Blood Kin — David Thompson

Growing up in the wild frontier of the Rockies, Zach King survives countless dangers, from nature and from human predators. Like his father, the legendary Nate King, Zach has learned to anticipate threats before they appear. But even Zach can't predict the danger he'll face when he travels with his fiancýe to meet her family in St. Louis. He knows they'll probably look down their noses at him because he's a half breed. He's used to that by now. But he doesn't know just how far his beloved's family will go to protect her from marrying Zach. Some of the self-righteous relatives will stop at nothing to save the family's good name...even murder.
