New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan
continues her high-concept, edgy Devil's Rock series From the wrong
side of the tracks and with most of her family in jail or dead,
Piper Walsh is used to everyone in town thinking the worst about
her. It doesn't seem to matter that she's worked hard to build a
good life for herself. So she isn't surprised that when she comes
into contact with Sweet Hill's wildly irresistible, arrogant
sheriff, Hale Walters, they're instant adversaries. Piper has
nothing in common with the town golden-boy-turned lawman-and she
refuses to be a notch on his bedpost. Despite rumors, Hale avoids
fooling around with the women of Sweet Hill, many of whom are
hoping to get him to the altar. But staying out of Piper's path is
proving near impossible. The infuriating troublemaker clearly has
no respect for his badge. As she continues to push his buttons, it
becomes clear to Hale that he must either arrest Piper-or claim her
as his own.

Lance Gordon's running out of room and time. Back in the Sierras he
killed the man who murdered his father. Unfortunately that man
turned out to be a Deputy Marshal, and now Lance has a price on his
head. Like Alan Ladd as Shane, Lance wants only to live in peace,
but he'll have to go through hell to get there.
Running from the law and the cavalry, Lance heads for the one place
no sheriff or soldier will go--into the territory ruled by The
Baron of Coyote River. The Baron is the king of the cattle
rustlers--as feared and hated as he is powerful. No one dares take
him on . . . until now.
Lance is sick of running, and taking on the Baron is his last
chance for a second chance. Before the battle is over, Coyote River
will run red with blood, as Lance has vowed to redeem himself . . .
or die trying.
Hubbard often reminisced about his rough and tumble childhood in
Montana. "At the age of three-and-a-half I could ride quite well. .
. . They never let me ride any blooded stock; they always insisted
that I only ride range broncs and mustangs. It did not matter how
often I was thrown when a mustang exploded under me, it was I who
was always scolded and cautioned not to be mean to the horses."
Memories such as this remind us that Hubbard himself inhabited the
world of The Baron of Coyote River.
Also includes the Western adventure, Reign of the Gila Monster, in
which a stranger rides into the roughest, toughest town in the
West--and sets out to show the town who's boss.
""Take a hard ride into a lawless corner of the Arizona territory,
as the audio version of The Baron of Coyote River brings a stampede
of action to life.
"It delivers plenty of action." "--AudioBook News Service"

Logan Cates knew the many ways the Arizona desert could kill a man. He had ridden the sunblasted dunes, tracked the Apache over barren lava beds, sheltered in the dry washes of this forbidding land. Above all, he knew a man needed water to survive. Cates rode to Papago Wells a few miles ahead of an Apache war party led by the vicious Churupati. There he met a dozen desert wanderers whom chance had led to the only water between Yuma and hell. There they came under siege by the Indians. And there they would make their stand--with little hope of living beyond the next day and only a hard man named Logan Cates to show them how to conquer their true enemy: fear.
Dakota Territory, 1867. The O'Driscoll brothers have survived a
Sioux massacre, but Michael is gravely wounded. The deserters are
fleeing north with Tom's lover, Sara, when they come upon a
sheltering rock by a river down off the Bozeman trail. If there is
game here, they may survive the winter. But their attempts to find
food and endure the savage winter are threatened by the arrival in
their camp of two trappers, whose presence sets in motion a series
of bloody events that will mark the trio as Outlaws, hunted by the
Montana Vigilance Committee, their likenesses appearing on Wanted
posters in settlements and mining camps along the trail. Enter any
town, and they will have to shoot their way out. The rock and the
river become their safe place, and when spring comes, their
paradise. But the world seeks its way to them, and even in paradise
human nature makes its own trouble. In this follow-up to his
acclaimed novel, Wolves of Eden, Kevin McCarthy tells a story of
three very human characters battling to survive in a vast,
beautiful, and unforgiving landscape.
