  The Home of Great Western
  
  
  Fiction!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
  Nothing hurts like betrayal. And when Yancey
  
  
  Bannerman was forced to kill a man he had once called friend, a man
  
  
  who had deliberately led him into an ambush, it left a sour taste
  
  
  in his mouth.
  
  
  He needed time away from his job as Governor
  
  
  Dukes’ top Enforcer … but ended up riding straight into a whole new
  
  
  passel of trouble.
  
  
  His name was Nathan King, but everyone called
  
  
  him King Iron because he was tough and gun-handy. He ruled the town
  
  
  of Calico Wells and his lust for land was such that sooner or later
  
  
  he clashed with any would-be settler.
  
  
  When he tried to ride roughshod over young
  
  
  Will Benbow and Benbow’s pregnant wife, Mary, however, Yancey
  
  
  couldn’t help himself—he had to buy into it.
  
  
  That’s when the war began.
