Cross Trails Marshal
Justice will be done…
Valentine Smith is a lone rider, used to picking his own course and fighting his own battles.
He rides into the prairie cow-town of Cross Trails as a stranger, unable to anticipate what will happen next.
Within twenty-four hours he is appointed the town’s marshal, tasked with keeping the peace in a town ripped apart by rival factions between the north and the south.
This is a town that gets more than its fair share of trouble and violence.
But Smith doesn’t let anyone get in his way when there’s a job to be done.
Tension between Talbot and Duquesne, the men who rule each opposing faction, is soon brought to breaking point – and Smith is the catalyst.
Matters are made ever more complicated when Smith starts to develop feelings for Claire Sherwood – the woman who Duquesne has vowed to make his wife.
And he is not a man who will give up what he wants without a fight.
With both Talbot and Duquense vying to exterminate each other, seize control and wipe out Smith in the process, can the lone rider wrestle back control and prevent any more innocent blood from being spilled?
One thing is for sure, all hell is about to break loose for the Cross Trails Marshal…
