Western Rough Riders #2

Sheriff Bob Atkins has built a reputation in his town by standing firm against mob justice—insisting on proper trials and law over lynch mobs—but when his own son Tim is accused of stealing a prized horse, a vengeful crowd ignores Tim's claims of innocence and moves to take matters into their own hands. Now Atkins must race back to town to prevent the very kind of tragedy he's worked so hard to stop. A classic frontier tale about whether principle can survive when it costs you everything.

A peaceful farmer's life shatters when a desperate outlaw burns his homestead and murders his wife during a robbery—and Sam Buller swears vengeance on her grave.

Weeks of grueling practice transform the farmer into a confident gun hand, but when his leads run cold, he nearly abandons hope—until a telltale piece of stolen jewelry surfaces and points him toward the true culprit.

A stubborn young man named Billy clashes with his father over wearing guns and strikes out on his own to prove he's grown—but while Billy's away testing his mettle in town, his father faces a mounting crisis when a ruthless land baron named Hale demands payment on a crushing debt.

Will the old man survive long enough to reckon with his debts—and will Billy's absence prove to be the greatest loss of all?
