Rise of the Gunfighter: Classsic Western Historical Series - Paperback

by Wyatt Steele (Author)

A ruthless rancher. A desperate runaway. A gunfighter torn between justice and love.

In Trail of the Lone Rider, Nash rides north from Abilene with his pockets full of hard-earned cash and his mind set on finding peace along the open trail. But when he encounters Luke, a young runaway fleeing the powerful rancher Calder, Nash is pulled into a deadly battle for control over the frontier town of Red Bluff.

Calder's grip on the town is ironclad, with a corrupt sheriff, a gang of thugs, and a trail of fear left behind. Nash's plan to keep to himself is shattered as he befriends Emily, a fierce landowner whose family has been fighting Calder for years. Together, they set out to protect Red Bluff from Calder's ruthless expansion-while Nash tries to protect his heart from the growing connection between him and Emily.

As Nash teaches Luke and the townsfolk how to fight back, he realizes that justice has become more than a solitary pursuit. With every move, he's drawn deeper into a web of loyalty, courage, and the kind of love he never expected to find. But Calder won't give up easily, and Nash must decide whether to stay and fight or ride away once again.
