At Love's Command

Karen Witemeyer is one of my favorite "western" authors and rarely fails to please with her offerings.  Most of her books take place in Texas and this one is no different. 

There are four men who have banded together as a group of vigilantes or mercenaries for hire.  They have a code of conduct they try never to break--never shoot to kill, just shoot to wound enough to stop the outlaw so that he can be taken in to the authority. They are called Hanger's Horsemen and ride to wherever the need is greatest. 

During one of their operations, one of the horsemen gets wounded, so the horsemen are directed to Dr Jo's in Purgatory Springs.  What they didn't realize is that Dr Jo is Josephine Burkett.  She cares for the wounded man and watches the leader of the horsemen care for his wounded  man and begins to fall for him. 

When Josephine gets a letter from her father's housekeeper, saying that her brother was being held hostage by a gang of outlaws.  She follows the horsemen to get them to go after her brother. 

This is a five star book that will not let the reader go from the very beginning to the back of the book.  Two Thumbs Up, and free doctor's care for life.
