About this book
Florence Finch Kelly's *The Delafield Affair* is a gripping Western adventure set against the unforgiving backdrop of New Mexico's scorching desert landscape. When Lucy Bancroft arrives in the territory seeking to recover from typhoid fever, she becomes entangled in a quest for justice that spans years and miles of treacherous terrain. Her father's chance meeting with rancher Curt Conrad reignites an old wound—years earlier, a cunning easterner named Delafield swindled Conrad's father out of his substantial fortune. Now, with renewed determination, Curt vows to track down the man who destroyed his family's legacy, no matter the cost.
