Union army officer Cameron Scott is used to being obeyed, but
nothing about this journey to Lake Tahoe has gone as expected. He's
come to fetch his daughter and nephew, and seek revenge on the
people who killed his brother. Instead he finds himself trapped by
a blizzard with two children who are terrified of him and stubborn
but beautiful Gwen Harkness, who he worries may be trying to keep
the children. When danger descends on the cabin where they're
huddled, Cam is hurt trying to protect everyone and now finds Gwen
caring for him too. He soon realizes why the kids love her so much
and wonders if it might be best for him to move on without them.
When she sees his broken heart, Gwen decides to help him win back
their affection--and in the process he might just win her heart as
well.
No writer chronicles the battles of misfits, underdogs and
renegades like Elmore Leonard ... VALDEZ IS COMING is a stunning
stale of morality and justice in which a simple, honest man is
transformed into a killer - and begins a long journey of revenge
against those who scarred his soul for ever. Elmore Leonard's
Western novels stand as some of the most vivid writing of his
career. With all of his trademark sharp dialogue and set against a
beautifully evoked landscape, this is a classic work that captures
the wild and glorious spirit of the American West.

2022 Oklahoma Book Awards Finalist for Fiction 2021 National Indie
Excellence Awards Finalist Set in 1884, Hell on the Border tells
the story of Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves at the peak of his
historic career. Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his
nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his
strategic advantage. Along with a tramp or cowboy disguise, Reeves
appears so nonthreatening that he often positions himself close
enough to the outlaws he is pursuing to arrest them without
bloodshed. After a series of heroic feats of capturing and killing
infamous outlaws-most notably Jim Webb-and an introduction to Belle
Starr, Reeves finds himself in the Fort Smith jail, charged with
murder. This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates
what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his
life on the heels of his greatest achievements.
Harry James Luck, Civil War veteran, US Cavalry captain, sometime
lawman, gambler and part-time town drunk, resigns his army
commission and heads south to the High Plains country of Texas in
the hope of settling down to a trouble and conflict free life. He
meets the lovely Bonnie Luxford, buys a small but attractive ranch
and sees his trail clear ahead and going on forever. Texas trails
never run straight, though, and a wandering band of Comancheros
bring the dream to a fire-ravaged close. Harry knows he cannot
forever hide in a bottle and with an elderly Comanche as his only
companion, he sets his sights on a new road, a trail of revenge.
The two men, together with a small company of adventurous young
Texas Rangers and an over-the-hill lawman, seek out the infamous
Comanchero Miguel Sanchez and beard him in his own den, a little
Mexican hamlet without a name. What followed went down in Western
folklore as the Gunfight at the Nameless Village.
