Scott Jackson
Sheriff Scott Jackson thought life in Pine Valley, Texas, would stay quiet. He was wrong.
When word comes that his twin brother, Lance, has been shot in nearby Logan, Scott saddles up for answers.
Rumor points to Eldon Ivy – a ruthless land baron who owns half the county and doesn’t take “no” for an answer. When Ivy wants something, he sends his enforcer, the brutal Jed Henson, to make it happen.
One of Ivy’s targets is Frank Ames, a respected farmer whose daughter Nancy has captured Scott’s heart. As violence spreads across the valley, Scott must draw on every ounce of his lawman’s grit to stand against Ivy’s empire and bring peace back to Logan.
But in a land where justice rides on the draw, Scott Jackson will learn that some fights can’t be won without blood.
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.

Greed and no morals......
Scott Jackson, the sheriff of two towns, had his hands full. The help of two cowboys, and the love of a woman, was the formula of success. Enjoyed the ride, from beginning to end.
