Shot full of holes and in need of medical attention, Ira Dale is forced to seek help from the very people responsible for his wounds. It's no surprise when they try to end his life again. But Ira Dale is a hard man to kill. Stitched up like a ragdoll and on the run with his woman, he must make a new future for himself. A future that, at Poloma's urging, is free of rage and vengeance. And that's just what Ira Dale would like to do, only the men and women of Silver Spine can't leave things be. There is no distance far enough, no place secluded enough, where the name Ira Dale is not known and hunted. Pushed to his limits, he cracks. They made him out to be an outlaw... an outlaw he will be.

Taking a hard look at his position in life, Balum can't say he's pleased. Near flat-broke and aimless, he bites at the chance of a lifetime: a roundup of a thousand wild Texas longhorns. It won't be easy. He might die in a stampede or get hooked by a horn, the cattle might die on the drive or fetch a collapsed price at market. And the biggest obstacle of all: rustlers.There existed two types of rustlers in the old West; those who stole a few head in the dark of night, and those who appropriated an entire herd for everybody to see. The former could be dealt with easily enough. The latter however, was another matter. Balum has no desire to get into a shooting war, but he's come this far and he'll be damned if some range bully strips them out of cattle. He has skin in the game. Between cattle thieves, the lure of women, and the ever-present threat of violence, Balum stands at a fork leading to riches or death.

Book #10 in the Balum Series. The Wyoming Territory is in chaos. Cheyenne has no law, bandits roam the countryside, and Indians dispossessed of their lands are seeking revenge. But none of this concerns Balum. He's back in the arms of Angelique, back at the CW Ranch, busy organizing a full bar for Joe and Valeria's wedding. Life is good and things are easy. Until all hell breaks loose. And when it does, he is thrown into the madness around him. Together with Will he is drawn into bandit ambushes, Blackfoot chases, Army wars, and all of it for a mission that both know is most likely doomed from the beginning. But there is no quit in Balum. Not when the life of a child is at stake. Violence sits deep in his belly, broiling and festering and ready to be unleashed on all who terrorize the Wyoming Territory.

He took care of the Silver Spine problem, now it's just preparing for the cold. But the Silver Spine mine owners have a different idea. They've found the mother lode, and it happens to be right under the Kootenai village. They don't feel much like dealing with Ira Dale after what he did to their town, but when they're introduced to Hudson Bane, an ex-soldier turned outlaw who offers to get rid of Ira Dale for cheap, they bite.Against Bane and his crew of war-toughened mercenaries, Ira Dale has little chance. Chained, beaten, and hauled down a desolate trail through the Northwest mountains, he will need more than two swinging fists to get out of this alive.
