A dead outlaw. A woman he was forced to leave behind. And a bounty hunter whose greatest enemy may be the past he thought he had escaped.
Nathan Lonetree never wanted to become a bounty hunter. Once he wore a sheriff's badge, believed in the law, and planned to build a life with Emily Willow. That future ended the day he killed Benjy Tate in a lawful gunfight, only to find himself hunted by a powerful ranching family determined to exact its own brand of justice. Years later, with a growing reputation for bringing dangerous men to account, Nathan rides into another hunt that will draw him back toward the life he left behind.
The trail begins with Luther Graves, a notorious outlaw carrying a substantial reward and rumored to ride with the elusive Dutch Sonnenberg, one of the most dangerous gang leaders in Texas. Joining Nathan is Milly Larson, a determined young woman whose sister was murdered by Graves, and who possesses knowledge that may finally lead someone into Sonnenberg's seemingly untouchable criminal empire. Together they set out for a place whispered about by outlaws and feared by lawmen alike—a remote settlement known only as The Crossing.
What Nathan cannot know is that he is being hunted as relentlessly as the men he seeks. Old enemies have never forgotten him, long-buried secrets are beginning to surface, and a trail that starts with bounty money soon becomes tangled with betrayal, hidden identities, and unfinished business stretching back to the day he rode away from Sunset End. Every bluff, every lie, and every decision brings him closer to a reckoning that has been years in the making.
Filled with frontier action, unforgettable outlaws, hard-earned loyalty, and the timeless spirit of the classic American West, Lonetree's Bluff is a gripping Western adventure where reputations are built one confrontation at a time, the past refuses to stay buried, and one man's greatest gamble may be the bluff that finally runs out.
Genre: Western
