The Gunslinger's Widow - Paperback

by Amelia M. Vergara (Author)

When a gang of outlaws storms Flaka's family ranch, pursuing a lone gunslinger, she kills the gang's leader in a split-second decision that turns her into southern Texas' most hunted fugitive.

Flaka couldn't have known the masked bandit she shot was the local mayor's son. And Mayor Ian Marcus is not a man to let his son's killer go free, even if it was self-defense. Flaka joins up with the stranger that started all the trouble, Oliver-a mysterious and alluring gunslinger that she doesn't know if she can trust-who promises to protect her. They flee across the deserts of southern Texas and northern Mexico, seeking safety, outside the reach of Marcus's vengeance. But Ian Marcus respects neither jurisdiction nor borders, and, as her feelings for Oliver grow, Flaka begins to realize that the final showdown may come at a cost far higher than her own life.
