Working in Lamberts store in Belmont, Arizona, he plans to marry his boss’s daughter, Fran.
Deep down though, he knows he’s not cut out for the life of a mere store-keeper.
So when trouble begins to brew in Long Valley – where his parents and brother run the Box S ranch – he puts his job on holder and rushes to defend his family instead.
An old family feud has been reignited between the Sloans and their neighbours, Hank Podd and his three brutish sons, Jake, Butch, and Bully.
With tensions flaring and war on the horizon, there couldn’t be a worse time for Podd’s daughter Dixie and Greg’s brother Todd to fall in love.
Hank Podd is fiercely protective of his only daughter and will fight any man who tries to win her heart – especially if that man is a Sloan.
It falls to Greg to protect his brother and settle the feud that threatens to spill blood.
But his worries don’t end there – it becomes clear that someone else is willing to stir up even more trouble in Long Valley.
Can the families reconcile long enough to put an end to the danger and war that is beginning to engulf the county?
‘A classic gun-toting adventure that will transport you straight back to the old west’ – bestselling author, Tom Casey
Clinton Spurr (1928), is one of fifty pseudonyms for British author, Donald S. Rowland, who was born in Norfolk, England. Rowland is married with three children, and previously had a variety of jobs, including film projectionist and Senior Clerk and Local Government Officer. It was only in 1964 that he dedicated his time to writing full-time and has since written a variety of novels, from science-fiction to westerns.
CS. has penned a western action adventure about two families that had the red many years before, but certain people in the rustling business tried to lighten past guesses against each other again. One young with a clearer head saw through the rustler plan and he convinced the Sheriff and two families, one his own, that they were being played against each other. Once the rules were set then there was the ensuing battleground. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS
