Warden Hollister

About the Book

Welcome to Malheur Co. Come for the beauty of the desert, stay for the way of life. But if you’re a poacher, drug dealer, thief, or otherwise undesirable scofflaw, don’t cross paths with Warden Hollister. Margret “Bitsy” Hollister—bright, dedicated, family-oriented, and with her whole life ahead of her—earns her Oregon Fish and Game Warden’s badge and moves back to her grandfather’s ranch outside of Burns to settle into her new jurisdiction. Happy to be back in the company of her family and friends, including Grandpa’s trusted ranch hand, Steve, Bitsy begins her service in eastern Oregon’s pristine high-desert wilderness. With the assistance of the local sheriff’s office, Bitsy learns the ropes and soon becomes everyone’s favorite resourceful young warden. As her training gets underway, the rigors of the job—including hand-to-hand combat with guys almost twice her size and with little to lose—leaves Bitsy wondering if she has what it takes to play the roles of conservationist, law enforcement officer, dutiful granddaughter, friend, and even paramour all at the same time.
