Todd Stauder was riding through the Wyoming Territory, just minding his own, when he came across a small ranch. He simply asked for a meal and something warm to drink. Dyani Auster was there with her grandfather. Todd could see she was strong, independent, and a hard-working woman.Not only was she that but she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She caught his eye from the moment he saw her. Trouble came that morning. He would have minded his own, but when a man speaks about a woman like he had heard, he just couldn't let that slide. Todd would need all his skills and resources to survive this time.He was fast with a gun and had a name because of it, but that only made matters worse. He faced the most dangerous enemy he had ever faced before. He was outnumbered and outgunned, his past had caught up with him and new enemies were closing around him. He would not run; he could not run.Todd had killed his first man when just a boy, then he rode with the Texas Rangers back home.
