Prodigal Gun

by Kathleen Rice Adams

Overview

Rancher Jessie Caine buried her heart with the childhood sweetheart Yankees killed on a distant battlefield. Sixteen years later, as a Texas range war looms and hired guns arrive to pursue a wealthy carpetbagger's agenda, Jessie discovers the only man she ever loved isn't dead. At least not yet. Embittered by a brother's betrayal, notorious gunman Calhoun is a dangerous man, come home to do an unsavory job. A bushwhacker's bullet nearly takes his life on Jessie's land, trapping him in a standoff between the past he tried to bury and the infamy he never will. One taste of the only woman he ever loved puts more than his life and her ranch in the crossfire. With a price on his head, a debt to a wealthy employer around his neck, and a defiant woman tugging at his heart, Calhoun's guns may not be enough to keep him from the grave. Caught between his enemies and hers, Jessie faces an agonizing choice: Which of her dreams will die?
