THE DREAM OF WEALTH AND ADVENTURE COMES AT A HIGH COST...The recklessness of youth and the bravery of California Gold Rush dreams fueled the determination of Ethan Payne and his best friend Gil Stark to find wealth and glory out west. But somewhere on a journey that took them down the Missouri, across the Gulf of Mexico, and through the jungles of Panama, the two young men began to change. Ethan learned he had the heart of an outlaw. By the time they reached California, both had left their innocence and friendship behind-but they were destined to come face to face again.This saga of an authentic frontier adventurer vividly captures the life and times of a young man coming of age in a harsh world of unlimited possibility and swift, savage death. For Ethan Payne, the untamed West gave him a place to make a stand-with a gun, a fierce heart, and a dream that wouldn't die. THE FIRST NOVEL IN A GREAT NEW WESTERN TRILOGY BY THE AUTHOR OF SUCH BESTSELLING BOOKS AS PROMISED LAND, MOUNTAIN HONOR, AND WAR LOVERS.

LOVE AND REVENGE ARE POWERFUL MOTIVES-POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE A MAN OF THE LAW CROSS THE LINE. Ethan Payne has drifted across the rugged American West, aching to settle down. From the wilds of the Missouri to the jungles of Panama, he left his destiny to the gods, and left Gil Stark-his best-friend-turned-outlaw-to the devil. Now, acting as Abilene's fiercely respected marshal, Payne has finally found a place to stand tall. Until a woman in need of salvation triggers an impulse like a bullet to the heart. Addicted to life's sordid pleasures, Julie Cathcott has arrived, unwanted and unexpected, from Payne's past. To Payne, she's a woman worth saving. Even if it means crossing swords with the town fathers and being cast out forever from a place he called home. But the past isn't done with Payne. In the shadow of Miss Julie's own private hell, Gil Stark is waiting. Once fate plays these kinds of games, it can turn any man into a killer.
