Publisher's Synopsis
A BRUTAL WESTERN THRILLER FILLED WITH VENGEANCE, BLOOD, AND REDEMPTION.
She was never supposed to be taken. They were never supposed to come after her. Now, the West will burn.The McKenna ranch was supposed to be safe. A quiet life on the edge of the frontier. But when twelve-year-old Mercy McKenna is ripped from her home in the dead of night by ruthless outlaws, she is thrown into a world of violence, blood, and survival. She was taken by mistake. A name whispered in the dark. A bounty meant for another. But it doesn't matter-because the men who stole her don't care. They sell people like cattle. They kill without hesitation. And now, Mercy is worth a fortune to the highest bidder. But they made one mistake. They didn't kill her parents. Mercy's mother, Ellie McKenna, is no ordinary woman. A survivor. A fighter. A mother with nothing left to lose. She will cross the frontier, hunt down the men who took her child, and carve a path of death to bring her home. But she can't do it alone.
For the first time in years, Ellie must seek out the only man dangerous enough to track these killers: Cullen Crowe McKenna, an outlaw with a price on his head and a past drenched in blood. He's a man she once loved. A man she swore she would never ride with again. But for Mercy, she will strike a deal with the devil himself. And deep in the heart of the West, Mercy fights her own war. Because Jed McCallister, the man who took her, isn't just another outlaw-he's a killer with a conscience, a man too far gone to be saved. And yet, as Mercy refuses to break, as she fights back against the men who would sell her like property, Jed begins to realize he has one last chance to do something right. The road to Denver is paved in bullet smoke and broken bones-and when the final reckoning comes, the West will run red with blood. Some debts must be paid in silver. Some in lead. But the worst of all-must be paid in blood.
⚠ Warning: This novel is raw, violent, and unrelenting-a Western thriller where justice is paid in blood.
