THE SEARCH BEGINS
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 fiancee 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.
