Book Synopsis

Lance Kilkenny has a debt to pay, and he isn't about to let the friend who saved his life go down in a range war.

Whoever is stirring up trouble has big ideas for the Live Oak country--and an army of hired guns to back them up.

Lance realizes that if he doesn't watch his step, he'll pay the debt he owes with his own blood.

From the Back Cover

Kilkenny owes Mort Davis his life, so when Davis finds himself caught in a violent struggle between two powerful and arrogant families, Kilkenny answers the call for help. He tries to broker a peace between the warring patriarchs, Webb Steele and Chet Lord, but soon realizes that Steele and Lord are merely pawns in a sinister plot that could destroy both men, their families... and anyone who gets in the way. It's a grab for money and power, involving a mysterious and reclusive beauty, a psychotic killer, and a dark figure from Kilkenny's past who's determined to get what he wants -- and what he wants most of all is Kilkenny dead.
