Colton Day, a veteran of the Mexican-American War as well as of the Civil War, is a rugged figure on the Texas frontier. The former lawman was recently the toast of Temple Ridge, Texas in 1866, helping the town fight off a gang of ruthless killers and outlaws.
Colton’s unique set of skills are needed again to help his lifelong friend, Running Deer, an educated and savvy Kiowa Indian.
Running Deer’s wife and little girl have been kidnapped by a nefarious group of outlaws dealing with the illegal sale of human beings. Many of these people are coerced into participating in exhibitions called Human Zoos. People in New York and Europe flock to the exhibits by the millions to look, and look down on, different cultures from around the world.
Cashing in on this cruel yet lucrative venture is Victor Claymore. With his henchman Nico Montoya, they’ll find people to fill the zoos whether they’re from another land or even if they want to participate. Montoya uses extortion and violence to get what he wants.
But neither evil man has counted on going up against Colton Day, who has rekindled a long lost romance with the love of his life, Caroline Kelly.
Will Colton’s expertise to fight for what’s right be enough to restore freedom to those who have had it robbed from them?
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
Note: Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.
Genre: Romance
