Slocum And The Widow S Range Wars

More information to be announced soon on this forthcoming title from Penguin USA

Slocum’s in the range war from hell! Belle Nelson killed two bounty hunters who murdered the wrong man—her husband—before the third high-tailed it. The sheriff praised Belle’s bravery, but she’s not waiting for the law to catch the one that got away. He’s a hired gun out of Texas who had no reason to think her husband was an outlaw with $500 on his head—a point she’ll emphasize before she blows him to hell. As he’s passing time in Wyoming, Slocum’s eye is caught by a pretty, pistol-packing lady. A former tomboy who rode like the wind, Belle is all growed-up—and tracking cold-blooded killers. Even if his motives are not entirely professional, Belle welcomes Slocum’s help. Neither knows what to expect. But Slocum begins to notice that his pretty companion has something hard and twisted deep inside her—something bloody and in need of watching…

Behind Slocum stand seven magnificent women… When renegade Apaches abduct Albert Grant’s daughter, the Texan cattle baron wants Slocum to rescue her. Slocum agrees on one condition—that Grant stops harassing the Mormon “widows” who lost their husbands when polygamy was enforced in the Sulfur Springs Valley. Grant’s daughter is safely returned. But the ruthless landowner still wants control of the entire valley—and unleashes his hired guns against the “widows” to scare them off. Slocum should have known better than to make a deal with the devil—and now he’s going to help the ladies show Grant why hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…

Some rustlers are about to meet their maker… When his old friend Amy Branch is forced to protect her land all by herself, John Slocum is eager to help. Especially since local business man Alvin Yates has rallied the law, locals, rustlers, and outlaws to help get his greedy hands on what’s not his. Slocum doesn’t care who’s on Yates’ side. He’ll aim over the law’s head and shoot down the lowest thieving scoundrels. And if Slocum gets his way, the only land Yates and his six shooters will take will be what’s six feet beneath them…

"Wink Trent's husband and son were murdered when a gang of outlaws led by Colonel Charles Bowdry rode hell bent for leather into a Kansas town and robbed the bank. Now, the young widow wants the bandits to pay for their crimes-and wants Slocum to help her track them down. Realizing Wink is going to hunt for Bowdry's ruthless gang whether he accompanies her or not, Slocum reluctantly agrees to join the pursuit. But his help is contingent on whether or not her performance on the trail satisfies him"--Amazon.

John Slocum is hired to rescue the daughter of Texas rancher Albert Grant from her renegade Apache abductors, but finds himself on the wrong side of his client when he tries to protect a group of Mormon widows from the ruthless landowner.

Out to buy up all the area ranches, ruthless land baron Seth Draper will do anything to get the locals to sell, including kidnapping rancher Ian MacTavish's wife, until Slocum arrives to teach the greedy man a lesson in justice.
