About this listen
The Debt is a four-part novella series based on cowboy, ex-soldier Matt Stone.
Matt Stone rode into Markleeville one hot dusk, with a wind at his back that promised summer thunder. He was tall and lean, with a narrow, clean-shaven face above the collar of his oilskin duster. His eyes were a hard pale blue, like chips of ice, and his black hair was long like an Apache's and held back with a strip of leather. The coat was open, revealing a buckskin vest and the pair of silver Colts at his hips.
He rode a huge, sleek black horse with a bullet scar showing in white hairs across one flank. Its name was Lucky. That horse had carried him through Gettysburg alive, and then taken him west, where he'd spent three years wandering, trying to get the echoes of battle out of his head.
Lucky had a mind of his own, which could be good or bad. Good when Matt needed help getting his drunk self back to camp. Bad when the damn horse figured out how to untie his lead and took off wandering somewhere.
This book is for mature audiences.

Story
The tall, dark stranger needed Wren Matthew's help - and the shy high school teacher couldn't turn away a man in distress. She didn't know why Keegan Winslow was out in the middle of an ice storm, but the spirit of the holidays compelled her to open her home to him. And although she'd sworn off men, she couldn't deny the sparks that crackled between them. Keegan was a cop on a mission when sweet, lovely Wren rescued him from the storm. But the haven - and the love - he found in her arms was a happiness he knew couldn't last. He couldn't offer her the one thing she wanted: his heart.

Story
What's a little marriage between friends? Mia has been Braxton's best friend for years. Even when they no longer lived in the same foster family, even after he'd aged out of the system, he'd continued to look out for the one person who got under his skin and made him care. For the last six years, Mia's been keeping her head down, putting one foot in front of the other, unable to trust anyone with her secrets—including the foster brother who's been the one bright spot in her life, as well as her secret crush.

There was trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan was determined to sort it all out. He arrived posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business was to bring the rough ranchers' children under control. To that end, he called on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother was in firm need of discipline. Sam wasn't sure what to expect - but it was definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance was so at odds with the fire in her eyes.

What happens to a cowboy + his philandering horse?
Find out in this This is part 1 of a 4 part audiobook series. The Debt: Damn Horse is part 1 of a 4. First time I listening to this author, and really enjoyed this story and the characters. The unravelling of the storyline and character develop of Matt, the lady farmer and his horse kept me engaged to the end. There is no cliff hanger at the end but keeps you wondering what happens next. The narration was very good and easy to listen. Recommend this easy listen nicely narrated audiobook.
I received a free copy of the audiobook and provide my honest, unbiased review freely.

The Debt
New narrator for me and it took me a few to get into the story. But once I did I enjoyed it. She did a nice job. The story line was nice and I love the background of the story. Now the image on the cover is very misleading as this is not a modern cowboy story.
