Across the empty lawless miles of the Great Plains, the Concord stage headed for the raw, booming cattle town of Dodge City. It brought along trouble with death never far behind its trail.Burl Channing has come to Dodge on personal business, but the hard-eyed Federal marshal carries more than secrets beneath his coat. Channing is a man feared by outlaws and distrusted by decent folk alike. He aims to bring murderer Frank Killian to justice—then whispers begin circling through the Long Branch Saloon and old enemies start watching his every move, Channing realizes Dodge City may be the most dangerous place he has ever ridden into.Only Emily Barker sees glimpses of the man beneath the cold exterior. Independent, sharp-willed, and far braver than Channing expects, Emily finds herself drawn toward a man she knows she should avoid. But in a town ruled by gamblers, killers, cattle crews, and crooked ambitions, trust can be deadlier than a six-gun.As tensions explode between Channing, Frank Killian, and the deadly men gathering around the saloons and muddy streets of Dodge, the showdown becomes inevitable. With gunfighter Wes Lowe watching from the shadows and Mayor 'Dog' Kelley trying to hold the town together, Channing must face the violence he's spent his life carrying with him.

Jim Bannister hoped he wouldn't be recognized when he rode into the tiny town of Antelope, Colorado, but he had to take that risk. His life depended on Syndicate Agent Boyd Seldon who he hoped to find there …A few months earlier he had busted out of jail in New Mexico, and there was a $12,000 price tag on his head. Things were going smoothly enough – until he accidentally got pulled into a fight over Kelsey Harbord, daughter of the murdered ex-foreman of the powerful Buckhorn Ranch.Then Jim knew that he was getting involved in a potential range war – but he couldn't help feeling that this was his only chance to convince Selden that he had murdered in self-defense.

Riding high along a lonely trail in the Rockies, Jim Bannister believes he's finally found a place where know one knows his face. He couldn't be more wrong. A chance encounter with a ruthless gang of outlaws changes everything. Forced at gunpoint to ride with them into an isolated mountain settlement, Bannister is dragged into a desperate raid for supplies. He has no intention of helping terrorise innocent people, but once the gang recognises the notorious bounty hunter's prize in their midst, escape becomes almost impossible. It takes a special kind of man to walk in a sheriff's office and claim the bounty on another wanted man but the men Bannister is riding with have never let loyalty stand in the way of easy money. Now trapped between a bloodthirsty gang, a waiting sheriff and the noose that has followed him across the West, Jim Bannister must once again fight for the one thing no reward can buy: his freedom.

There's a price on his head. $12,000. Dead pays the same as alive.Jim Bannister has been running near to half his life. Long enough to know a man don't outrun what's behind him. Only puts distance on it.Sometimes.The land's wide, but not wide enough.He rides into Cabra Springs with nothing—no coin, no friends, no place to turn. Just the weight of what he's done and the quiet knowing that men are coming.Hard men.Men who follow tracks through rock and dust. Men who don't ask questions. Men who finish things.They'll find him. It's only a matter of time.Folks in town look at him a second too long. They've heard. A bounty like that don't stay secret. Turns whispers into greed. Turns neighbors into hunters.Out here, a man might sell you for less.Bannister figures he's got two choices: keep moving and die tired… or trust someone and die a fool.Either way, the ground's waiting.And it don't much care how a man gets there.
