Creed's Law
William Black

But it’s not good news.
A young ranch hand has been accused of murder. Creed’s mother is dying. And the decades-long feud with the neighboring Glass Ranch is boiling over.
The rival cattleman at the head of it all, Jasper Glass, has hated the Cooleys his whole life. He wants their land – and now he’s going to shed more blood to come out on top.
With aid from the Border Boys, a notoriously brutal gang of outlaws, and their shadowy leader, Rainer Flynn, Jasper is poised to strike the Cooleys down when they’re at their most vulnerable.
As the cutthroat Rainer makes his own rogue claims on the contested land, the carnage threatens to turn the whole range into a cemetery of cartridges and dead cattlemen.
Struggling to save his family from the clash, Creed finds help where he least expects it – Jasper Glass’s treasured daughter, Sadie.
Sadie is tired of her father’s outlaw allegiances. She draws Creed into a forbidden love that could lay down the tracks for peace between the families.
Creed can’t rely on the courtroom any longer. Justice now has to come from his Colt.
Can Creed untangle the loyalties of his faithless foes and force them into long-awaited peace? Or will he be taken by the hand and lead to his own grave?
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
