Lodestone prides itself on being the fastest-growing town in Colorado, but John Stone knows a con game when he sees one. And this is a con the size of the Rockies. The low-down varmints running the scam don’t want to see him meddling—they’d rather see him dead. Stone’s dodging bullets...and getting ready to fight back. Once, John Stone had everything a man could ever want: wealth, position, and a woman who loved him. But that was before the Civil War. Now, he’s lost his fortune: and his fiancée has disappeared. All he has left is his Colt, a picture of Marie, and a mission—to roam the West until he finds the woman he loves.
