Shifting Calder Wind Hardcover - 2003

From the publisher

The New York Times bestselling author returns to the sweeping lands and proud legacy of the Calder clan, as a new threat ripples through the green grass of the Triple C Ranch... Someone was trying to kill him. That's the only clear thought that comes to Chase Calder when he regains consciousness, a vicious head wound stripping him of all memory. Chase has no idea who he is, why he came to Fort Worth, or who tried to put a bullet in his head the night a cowboy named Laredo Smith saved his life. Laredo seems sure that the big, burly man with no memory is Chase Calder, owner of the Triple C Ranch in Montana. And according to the local papers, Chase Calder has just been declared dead--a victim of a fiery car crash. None of it rings true to Chase, but his gut tells him to stay dead until he can find the answers he needs. And the only place to find those answers is back in Montana. The one person he can risk taking into his confidence is his daughter-in-law, Jessy Calder. Running the Triple C is hard enough, but keeping Chase's secret puts Jessy in an awkward--even dangerous--position. Doing Chase's bidding without tipping her hand that he's alive, brings the level-headed widow into conflict with Chase's headstrong daughter Cat, and forces her into an uneasy alliance with Laredo, a man who sparks an attraction Jessy can't deny. No one seems to know much about the mysterious stranger--not where he's from, not what he wants. But lawman Logan Echohawk's sixth sense tells him there's much more to Laredo Smith--if that's even his name--than meets the eye, and he intends to find out what it is. With the threat of discovery growing nearer, Chase fights to regain the memories that will tell him whowants him dead and why. And when one of his own family is found murdered on Calder soil, he knows things have gone too far. Chase is going to come out of hiding and hope he can remember the face of a killer...before the killer finds him first... By turns gripping and romantic, and as tempestuous as the big-sky country itself, Janet Dailey's Shifting Calder Wind is another extraordinary ride into the hearts and minds, passions and desires of the Calder clan--and a proud tribute to the strength of an American family.
