Kaw Creek War

A Valley Worth Dying For. A Lie Worth Killing For. Zack Ledlie and Mace Baxter have survived Comanches, droughts, and thirty years of the unforgiving frontier side-by-side. They are the kings of the Windy River Valley, bound by a friendship forged in blood. But it only takes one spark to burn a kingdom down. Enter Rip Campbell. Young, fast with a Colt, and running from a past that includes a bank robbery in El Paso and a rope with his name on it.
Hired by a ruthless syndicate to drive a wedge between the two aging cattle barons, Rip rides into town with a fabricated story and a loaded gun. His mission is simple: start a range war, watch the old men kill each other, and clear the way for a land grab that spans three territories. It was the perfect con-until Rip made the mistake of caring. As the valley explodes into violence, Rip finds himself caught in a deadly crossfire.
On one side, a relentless U. S. Marshal and a vengeful Mexican Don are closing in. On the other, the shadowy Colonel Thorne-a disgraced military tactician with a private army of professional killers-has arrived to finish what Rip started, planning to scorch the earth and leave no witnesses. Now, the man hired to destroy the valley is the only one who can save it. To find redemption, Rip Campbell must unite the men he betrayed, face the ghosts of his past, and turn his gun against the very darkness he brought to town.
Written in a gritty, dialogue-driven style, Kaw Creek War is a pulse-pounding Western action-adventure about loyalty, the high price of greed, and the hard road to redemption.
