England, 1106 AD

The earl of Trent’s Norman widow, Blanche, and her English steward, Miles Edwulfson, take possession of Blanche’s estates, hoping to live a life of peace and quiet. However, they run afoul of a baron named Aimerie, who is building an illegal castle and taxing the surrounding manors–including Blanche’s–to pay for it. Aimerie has ambitions that go far beyond this castle, to the heart of the English throne, and he won’t let anyone stand in his way. What’s more, Aimerie’s hot-headed son, Ernoul, lusts after Blanche and wants to make her his wife. When Blanche and Miles refuse to pay Aimerie’s taxes, Aimerie vows to crush them.

Shelby Alexander is at a crossroads. Is he ready to hang it up and retire for real… or does he have another season left?

The decision may not be completely up to him.

When a horrifying tragedy strikes Serenity, Shelby feels the old call to action stirring deep inside. His loved ones worry he’s too far past his prime, but he is more and more convinced that his job is actually far from done.

Will this new evil feel the power of Shelby’s seasoned fists and the lethal sting of his dead-eyed aim?

Only time will tell. One thing is for sure: time is not on his side.

One gambler with nothing left to lose. One gunfighter trying not to be found. A stagecoach robbery that pulls them both into a blood trail of revenge.
Sabinal was just another dusty town — a stopover for drifters, showfolk, and the dying. Nash wasn’t looking for trouble when he took a job hauling crates for a traveling troupe. He just wanted to keep his head down and his past buried. But when a high-stakes Faro game pits a sickly, sharp-tongued gambler named Doc Holliday against a ruthless saloon owner, trouble finds him anyway.

After Doc calls the wrong bluff and the guns nearly come out, a telegram arrives that changes everything — and saves their lives. But Sabinal is far from safe, and when a stage is robbed and a sheriff calls for riders, Nash and Doc find themselves roped into a deadly posse with more questions than answers.

The trail leads into rough country — and darker secrets. The outlaws they’re hunting aren’t the only ones with blood on their hands. And some men will do anything to make sure the truth never reaches Tombstone.

Gritty, character-driven, and packed with tension, The Posse and the Gunfighter is a sharp-shooting Western that blends fast-paced action with unforgettable dialogue and the uneasy bond between two men who were never meant to ride together — but just might need each other to survive.

My brother’s best friend finally saw me — right when I was falling apart.

When my brother suddenly passes away, shattering my family, I’m left to pick up the pieces.

Then Vince Mancini knocks on my door. My brother’s best friend from high school — and the boy I loved — is a funeral director, and he promises to answer whenever I call.

With his steadfast nature and warm smile, he becomes the anchor in the storm, willing to hold me up as everything falls at my feet. He sees through all my bluster, and it’s easy to remember why I’d hung on his every word when I was younger.

Now, he thinks he can fix me, even though there’s a lump of clay where my heart used to be.

Which makes the fluttering in my chest all the more disconcerting. And this hurt? It’s too much too soon.
