In the tranquil town of Malachite, Ashton Hagen finds solace working in the general store, a stark contrast to the town’s dark underbelly of lawlessness and corruption. His father, the former sheriff, was slain by outlaws, leaving Ashton wary of following in his footsteps.
Meanwhile, Jack Keller, once a respected rancher, descends into the vengeful Black Jack Keller. Fuelled by years of mistreatment by Malachite’s residents, he unleashes havoc upon the town, leaving destruction in his wake. Ashton’s uncle, the only family he has left, becomes another casualty of Keller’s rampage.
Determined to avenge his loved ones, Ashton embarks on a perilous journey to bring Keller to justice. Along the way, he encounters May, a spirited saloon girl whose courage and compassion provide a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times.
As Ashton and May pursue Keller into the Colorado wilderness, they discover a daunting truth: Keller is not merely a criminal but the architect of a sprawling empire, built on years of deception and ruthlessness.
Will Ashton prevail against Keller's calculated wrath? Can he restore peace to Malachite, or will he succumb to the same forces that claimed his father?
And Can Ashton and May unravel the secrets of Black Jack Keller before it’s too late?
Note: Each novel in the Western Justice Adventures series is a standalone story, with sprinkles of romance, that can be read out of order.
