The Gunslinger. Renegade Brides, #1

Never trust a Renegade. Samson Renegade has been running from the law since he shot a man at age sixteen. Raised in a family of well-known outlaws, his future was decided for him before he could walk. Destined to follow in his father's footsteps, he'll probably die, one day, hanging from a rope. But not for whatever happened in El Paso. Riding south to clear his name, he narrowly escapes one of the area's toughest lawmen when the sheriff's beautiful daughter stumbles in his path.
Yet, though she's his ticket out of town, the deeper they ride into the desert, the more it seems his biggest mistake, and the one that will prove his final downfall, is the state of his heart. Book 1 of 2 in RENEGADE BRIDES by author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS. A western romance. 32, 000 words.
