RELENTLESS AVENGER Ben Halpern figured on being a Mississippi hill farmer before the war came and killed his pa, dragging Ben away from home. Unjustly imprisoned, Ben was tough enough to survive, smart enough to escape the profiteering Confederate commander who had trampled on his life and taken his dream. On the dodge from both armies, with a trail-wise companion named Ridge Parkman, Ben headed west, tracking Major Salem to a Colorado town embroiled in a range war of its own. Braced for a cavalry charge of Salem’s land-stealing marauders, Ben and Ridge united the outnumbered ranchers in a fiery, last-ditch stand. Ben swore Salem’s future was a bullet and a curse.

Imagine yourself in history, arriving home from the Southern conflict to find your beautiful intended, Sara, ravaged; your home and fields burned and destroyed by black-hearted marauders, your sisters and mother brutalized, and your town and neighbors' lives destroyed--all by the hands of a cowardly mayor, only to protect his holdings and benefited from stolen fortunes. Could you do nothing or would you join the honorable Leland Harris on his Ride of Vengeance? A ride that brings justice to the Harris family, to the township, and to the woman he loves.

After saving a small Texas town from disaster, blood brothers Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves find themselves on the verge of a full-scale war--and up against an old foe, hired killers, and a Mexican bandito and his army. Original.
