by Col R. C. Hartjen (Author)
Peace is a fragile thing on the Texas frontier, and Sheriff Matt Horton knows exactly how quickly it can shatter.
A quiet lawman in the small town of Benton, Horton has built his life on order, duty, and the hope of a future beyond the badge. But when a bank robbery turns deadly, that future slips through his fingers. In the lone fleeing outlaw, Horton recognizes a face he cannot ignore: Charlie Duncan, the younger brother of the woman he loves.
Honor and duty leave him no choice.
What begins as a pursuit becomes a relentless trial across the unforgiving Texas landscape, where danger waits behind every ridge. With Comanche warriors closing in and the distance between hunter and hunted growing razor thin, Horton is forced to confront the cost of justice-and the price of his own heart.
Because some trails lead only to one end: capture ... or death.
