Showdown on the Guadalupe

He lost everything he had in the Civil War, with only life-altering memories of violent conflict remaining. So for former Confederate colonel Elijah Bishop, moving west was an opportunity to leave his old life behind. Now he's settled into his new home in Texas, with a burgeoning career as a schoolteacher and a fresh lease on life-not to mention the love of his future bride, Rebecca Claire. But when the town is attacked by a band of raiding Indians, life in Harmony Springs suddenly falls into chaos. With no law enforcement to speak of, the townspeople must gather to come up with a solution themselves-and it isn't long before Elijah, with his war experience and leadership skills, is placed squarely in the role of head honcho. With the help of three local cowboys and a Comanche scout named Two Bears, Elijah embarks on a dangerous mission to track down Saber Head-a bloodthirsty renegade with violent tendencies so severe he's been exiled from his own tribe. As the Bishop party continues on the trail, Elijah finds himself facing memories he would rather forget...and a shocking secret threatens to change the entire course of the high-stakes hunt.
