Dodge City. Stagecoach Station, #1

Across the empty lawless miles of the Great Plains, the Concord stage headed for the raw, booming cattle town of Dodge City. It brought along trouble with death never far behind its trail. Burl Channing has come to Dodge on personal business, but the hard-eyed Federal marshal carries more than secrets beneath his coat. Channing is a man feared by outlaws and distrusted by decent folk alike. He aims to bring murderer Frank Killian to justice-then whispers begin circling through the Long Branch Saloon and old enemies start watching his every move, Channing realizes Dodge City may be the most dangerous place he has ever ridden into.
Only Emily Barker sees glimpses of the man beneath the cold exterior. Independent, sharp-willed, and far braver than Channing expects, Emily finds herself drawn toward a man she knows she should avoid. But in a town ruled by gamblers, killers, cattle crews, and crooked ambitions, trust can be deadlier than a six-gun. As tensions explode between Channing, Frank Killian, and the deadly men gathering around the saloons and muddy streets of Dodge, the showdown becomes inevitable.
With gunfighter Wes Lowe watching from the shadows and Mayor 'Dog' Kelley trying to hold the town together, Channing must face the violence he's spent his life carrying with him.
