One Thorn Left

Thorn Carter was only fifteen when he rode with Rob Sutton’s outlaw gang.

By the time the blood dried, he’d had enough of killing. Now he rides fence lines outside Eden Springs, Wyoming, keeping his head low and his gun quiet.

When Rob returns with the same gang – disguised as Cheyenne warriors – to raid ranches and drive settlers and natives toward open war, Thorn is forced to face the life he thought he’d left behind.

In Eden Springs, half-Cheyenne schoolteacher Ginny Rivers refuses to believe the rumors. Fierce and principled, she protects her students from hatred and fear – even as Thorn hides the truth of his past from her.

But when the flames reach Eden Springs, Ginny joins Thorn in the fight to stop Rob’s gang. The outlaws Thorn once called brothers are killing without mercy, and Rob wants him back in the saddle – or buried with the rest.

Thorn knows every bullet he fires may strike a man who once swore to be his brother.

When the smoke clears, only one name will be remembered in Eden Springs.

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.
