Savage Texas

For renegades and pioneers, there is no place like Texas—as long as you have a gun and the guts to use it. Now, the Civil War is over. Carpetbaggers and scalawags rule Austin. Soldiers return to pillaged homes. Longhorns roam the wilds and the state is in chaos. Especially in a town called Hangtree.

Sam Heller and Johnny Cross are Hangtree's newest citizens: Heller is a former Yankee soldier, a deadly shot, and a believer in right from wrong. Cross is a gun for hire with dark dreams of wealth and power—at any cost. Hangtree, with its rich grazing land and nearby mineral deposits, soon erupts in murderous violence. By fate and by choice, these two strangers will find themselves on opposite sides of the law. And Hangtree will soon erupt in murderous violence

A divided Texas town must band together to face a terrifying Comanche threat in this action-packed Western by the authors of Savage Texas.

In Hangtree, Texas, any day could be your last. For on the heels of the Civil War, Hangtree is drawing gamblers, fast women, and faster gunmen. Amidst the brawls and shooting, the land-grabbing and card-sharking, two men barely hold the boomtown together: Yankee Sam Heller and Texan Johnny Cross. Heller and Cross can’t stand the sight of each other. And Hangtree needs them more than ever.

A Comanche named Red Hand is blazing across the state, leaving a trail of bloodshed and destruction—and Hangtree is right in his path. For a town bitterly divided, for Heller and Cross, the time has come to stand shoulder to shoulder and fight for their little slice of heaven.

A veteran and a gun-for-hire team up to take down a dangerous beauty in this Western by the authors of the New York Times bestselling Smoke Jensen series.

Angel of Death

When a lovely lady steps off a dusty stagecoach in Hangtree, the hardest heart skips a beat—and Sam Heller falls hard for her. What Hangtree doesn’t know, however, is that Julia Pepperday isn’t who she pretends to be. She is the daughter of the late Black Ear Skinner, a notorious outlaw who wanted his only child to have all the advantages in life and sent her back east.

Black Ear Skinner’s apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, though. Julia has turned her back on the fancy boarding school and set her sights on Hangtree, because that’s where Sam Heller has built a hard-earned fortune. Backed by her late father’s gang, Julia is out to separate Sam from his money and destroy Hangtree in the process. But while Sam and Hangtree have lost their heads, Johnny Cross has kept his—and he’s getting ready for war . . .

When two killer gangs descend on a Texas town, it takes a pair of renegade gunslingers to save the day in this action Western.

In 1866, the border between the US and Mexico is a hotbed of gunrunners and mercenaries—not to mention the Emperor of Mexico’s spies, saboteurs and double agents. Meanwhile, West Texas is being terrorized by Comanche warriors. Into this mix ride two massive gangs of the meanest ravagers to ever draw iron—or a breath.

Sam Heller and Johnny Cross have got the marauders in their sights, but they aren’t ready for the slaughter and destruction the raiders unleash on Hangtree County. Suddenly, the good guys in Hangtree are dangerously outnumbered. So Sam and Johnny decide to pit one gang against the other. And what that won't do, a liberated army howitzer just might . . .

A Texas sheriff joins forces with legendary desperado Cullen Baker in a fight against a land-grabbing baron in this historical Western adventure.

Lawman Sam Heller is busy enough keeping the peace in Hangtree, Texas. But when he saves the life of a gunslinger on the trail from East Texas, the young man makes an audacious request—that Heller trek with him back across a desert held by brutal outlaws to save one more.

Bill made the journey to Hangtree to get help for a friend—quick-draw artist Cullen Baker—who’s fighting to save the Torrent River from a robber baron. Baker’s old pal Johnny Cross has agreed to lend a bullet or two, and with Sam Heller at their side, the odds are even better. When the ammo’s loaded and the triggers are cocked, the Torrent will flow red with blood . . .
