Gold on the Hoof

Tuck Clayburn was old Fred Locke’s foster son, and he hadn’t been raised to kill.

But when Locke died, Tuck inherited more than he wanted–a scorched-out cattle ranch, and two bitter enemies.

One of them was Kyle Kruze, who owned half the town of Wagonspoke; the other was Cloyd Weber, the town’s only lawyer, who had his sights set on Washington, D.C. – and on Locke’s daughter, Randie.

When Kruze bought the bank and put the squeeze on Tuck, there was only one way out: a hundred-mile cattle drive over parched rangeland– with a hired gun behind every rock.
