Outlaw: Wesley Quaid: A Western Adventure

by Matthew Pizzolato

Wesley Quaid rode into Leesville with one rob the bank and disappear. But fate had other plans. Offered a deputy marshal’s badge by the town’s trusting lawman, Wesley seizes the opportunity for the perfect cover—until he meets Colleen Sullivan. Her fierce spirit and haunting eyes threaten to unravel his cold resolve, forcing him to confront a past stained by violence and a future he never dared imagine.

As Wesley navigates the thin line between lawman and outlaw, he’s drawn into a web of betrayal. A vengeful enemy targets him, a shadowy assassin watches from the ridges, and the woman he’s come to love may fear the darkness in his soul more than any enemy. With every gunfight, every sacrifice, Wesley must cling to the ruthless killer he was, or risk everything for a chance at redemption.

From the dusty streets of a Kansas boomtown to the blood-soaked prairies, Outlaw delivers a relentless tale of grit, gunsmoke, and the brutal cost of second chances. Matthew Pizzolato has crafted a classic Western where loyalties are tested, bullets fly true, and the hardest battle is fought within a man’s own heart.
