. Two of American writer James B. Hendryx's westerns are in this Kindle ebook: The Gold Girl & The Gun Brand
The Gold Girl
Patty Sinclair reined in her horse at the top of a low divide and gazed helplessly around her. She was lost. The trail had grown fainter and fainter with its ascent of the creek bed disappeared entirely at the slope of loose rock. That was when he sauntered along: "Good evenin', Miss," he greeted. "Lost?"
"No," she lied brazenly, "I came here on purpose--I--I like it here." She felt the lameness of the lie and her cheeks flushed. The man didn't believe her, of course, but he was too much a gentleman to make her feel uncomfortable. Instead, he admired her fine figure and gave her directions to get back on the trail. And as she left, he hoped they'd meet again. The sooner the better.
The Gun Brand
An exciting Wild West story about a frontier settlement in Northwestern Canada, the exploits of a river crew and a feisty, beautiful woman.
Excerpt:
"A swift anger surged in the girl's heart. "No!" she cried. "I will not write! I have no such amount in any bank this side of San Francisco! But if I had a million dollars, you would not get a cent! You can't bluff me!
Vermilion sprang toward her with a snarl; but before he could lay hands upon her Big Lena, with a roar of rage, leaped past the girl and drove a heavy stick of firewood straight at the half-breed's head. The man ducked swiftly, and the billet thudded against his shoulder, staggering him. Instantly two of the scowmen threw themselves upon the woman and bore her to the ground, where she fought, tooth and nail, while they pinioned her arms. Vermilion, his face livid, seized Chloe roughly.
The girl shrank in terror from the grip of the thick, grimy fingers and the glare of the envenomed eyes that blazed from the distorted, brutish features... "
