There’s a $3,000 bounty on James Bennett’s head, and Marty Keller intends to collect it. Deep in the Oklahoma badlands, Keller corners his quarry, pinning him down with warning shots...until one ricocheting bullet strikes Bennett in the back, mortally wounding him.

Keller returns to Fort Wayne to collect his reward, only to be branded a back shooter by the townsfolk. Then, to his surprise, Bennett’s widow pleads with him to escort her and her young son to their new home in Wyoming Territory. And as he sets out to lead them across countless miles of mountains and prairies, Keller is determined to protect his charges from any danger that may befall them—both natural and human.

Well written. Good view of the West. I found myself skipping huge chunks though which is why I finished so fast. It was pretty predictable. But the descriptions were vivid and dialogue gave a period feel. It will help my "voice" when I write my own.

It kind of makes you sad when love can't come full bloom between two people.
