He hunted outlaws. Now he’s the one being hunted.

Sheriff Ethan Vale is on the trail of a rustler gang when bullets fly and men start to die—igniting a brutal war that stretches from Texas to the Mexican badlands.

But this time, the law won’t save him.

When Olivia Wilder is taken by a ruthless Comanchero kingpin, Vale throws away his badge and rides into the heart of darkness. To save the woman he loves, he’ll have to break every rule he once swore to uphold.

Outlaw will hunt outlaw.

Caught in a deadly cross-border conspiracy, Vale finds himself with a price on his head and enemies closing in from every side. Behind it all stands Don Julio Montoya—a shadowy warlord building an empire of blood, gold, and slavery.
Vale has one shot to bring him down.

With cigar-smoking gambler Ike Jackson at his side, Vale rides straight into hell—where fists break bone, steel clashes in the dust, and twin Colts spit fire.

Betrayed. Outnumbered. Marked for death.

Captured, beaten, and dragged to the edge of the grave… Vale still won’t go quietly.
Because some fights are worth dying for.
And for the woman he loves…

No line will remain uncrossed.

Outlaws will fall. Empires will burn. And Ethan Vale will finish what he started.

Book 3 in the Ethan Vale Westerns — A hard-riding frontier series for fans of Louis L’Amour and Cormac McCarthy.
