Publisher's Synopsis
"Coley Briggs is a 34-year-old cattleman in 1881 Kansas who finds himself faced with mounting debts at his Circle B Ranch. The former Dodge City lawman must quickly find a way to fill the ranch's coffers or lose the spread. Briggs's fortunes take an unexpected turn when he encounters a young woman named Anna Holden who is on a dangerous personal mission. Anna makes Briggs an offer that could be the solution to his problems, but can he trust the beautiful, secretive Anna? A mix of ruthless killers, corrupt politicians, and a deadly bounty hunter make The Cowboy and the Scallywag a fast-paced novel, full of surprises, reminiscent of the author's previous novels, the 2016 Peacemaker Award winner, Echoes of Massacre Canyon, and Mabry's Challenge"--.
