Spur Award-Winning Author, winner of the 2007 Spur Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for The Horse Creek Incident. "Dusty Richards writes with the flavor of the real West." —Elmer Kelton IN 1880, ARIZONA TERRITORY WAS AN OUTLAW'S PARADISE. The gunmen rode hard along the border, pillaging and murdering their way to plunder and wealth. Guided by a powerful landowner and his vicious outlaw captain, the Border Gang was organized, mean, and armed to the teeth. In Prescott, the governor knew Arizona's sheriffs couldn't stop the chaos—and statehood was in peril. Then a military man named Bowen stepped in with a plan: find a few good men, call them marshals, and send them after the Border Gang. THEN THE LAW STRUCK BACK WITH A MAN NAMED MAYES. Sam T. Mayes, a soldier turned Denver detective, is Bowen's first and only choice. Now Mayes—accompanied by an alcoholic army scout, a wanted man, and a fierce native woman—must ride against the cutthroat gang. Mayes' job is to put the kill­ers behind bars—or put them in the ground. His reward: the first-ever badge to be worn by a U.S. Territorial Marshal... "Gritty, fast-paced...a classic Western." —W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, authors of People of the Mist on The Lawless Land

Spur Award-Winning Author, winner of the 2007 Spur Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for The Horse Creek Incident. Miss Stout Rice and Mr. Locke McTavish make an unlikely couple—but one hell of a team. The West proves wild from the get-go for gentleman farmer Locke McTavish, late of Illinois. Just off the train in Flagstaff, he steps right into a full-scale dustup. The tenderfoot with quick fists wins the brawl—but not before he loses his heart to lovely Stout Rice. She's as skilled a rider and roper as any seasoned cowhand, while a damned sight more pleasing to behold. And though Stout chuckles at McTavish's yen to set up in ranching, she agrees to give the slick-talking dandy a push in the right direction. The wagon ride to North Cut—where the Rice sisters tend their daddy's ranch—turns into a mighty tug-of-war between the mismatched duo. While Locke labors to court the feisty Stout, she busies herself trying to turn him into a competent frontiersman. Before walking arm-in-arm, though, they'll battle back-to-back against marauding Apaches and a pair of murderous outlaws with sore heads and itchy trigger fingers. Seems that when push comes to shove, it takes more than love to conquer all.... "Dusty's drawl humor makes his westerns larruping-good reads." —Suzann Ledbetter, Author of The Toast Always Lands Jelly-Side Down

Spur Award-Winning Author, winner of the 2007 Spur Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for The Horse Creek Incident. The Rice sisters waltzed like angels—but everyone knew they were the toughest cowhands in North Cut H.B. Bentley was poor enough to ride an ornery horse named Short—and proud enough to mind the cool welcome he received from three sarsaparilla-sipping cowboys outside North Cut's lonely general store. He'd ridden north on Zack Hainey's promise of a job, but he soon discovered that the town ran on its own set of rules: rustlers were stealing the ranchers blind, and the three uppity cowboys were cowgirls—the Rice sisters—destined to work beside him on the fall roundup. When H.B. won permission to partner with the Rice gals at the Pecan School House dance, and then faced down two Texas blowhards, he went up a notch with everyone—except pretty Erv Rice. Erv was as stubborn as Short, but not nearly as troublesome as the rustlers, whose lawlessness could soon put H.B. out of work. As much as he wanted Erv's smile to carry home with him in the starlight, he also demanded justice at the end of the risky trail drive to Flagstaff....
