The Fourth Crossing

Some secrets are buried in old ledgers. Others are hidden beneath the land itself.For Clara and Carla Collins, Barrow Creek has become more than a refuge-it is home. They have fought to protect the ranch, uncovered corruption that reached farther than anyone imagined, and discovered that truth has a way of finding those willing to search for it. But when plans for a new railroad crossing threaten neighboring ranches, old friendships begin to fracture, longtime landowners face impossible choices, and fear settles over the valley. A suspicious death, anonymous threats, and disappearing records suggest that someone is determined to control far more than a stretch of land. As the sisters follow one clue after another, they discover that the battle before them did not begin with the railroad. It began years ago, hidden beneath forgotten agreements, quiet betrayals, and decisions that have shaped Barrow Creek for generations. Some crossings change where a road leads. Others change the course of a life. Welcome to The Fourth Crossing, where every mile of track hides another secret, and the greatest danger may be the truth waiting at the end of the line.
