Reason Cordell knew going home to the Stirrup C Bar was going to be hard. Foolishly, he thought he could handle whatever hell Rachel or Cole threw at him. How wrong he was!He was only ten miles from home when the first taste of trouble touched him in the form of a sixteen-year-old boy with the name of Nicholas Dansing, Jr. A boy, almost fully grown, with a deadly score to settle and a burning hatred festering in his heart... a vengeance eating away at his pride and sanity that only Reason's death could satisfy!Only one problem hindered the safety of a reputable gunslinger against this hotheaded kid. Reason would never draw a pistol against Cole's son!
