Description

Dace Halston faced the hardest decision of his life: Honor friendships formed during his ranching days in the Oklahoma Territory or stay true to the code of the lawman he had sworn to uphold when they pinned the tin star to his vest.
Dace chose the latter—and was willing to use both his Colt .45 and Winchester .44 to back his choice.
But Dace's best friend, married to the only woman he'd ever loved, had taken up with the owlhoot trail when the Territory was opened up for settlement. As full of fight as an untamed mustang, George McClary waged a self-declared war on the newcomers from the East who were turning the lush open rangeland into a checkerboard of fenced off squares.
Dace knew their meeting was inevitable, a meeting of good friends who'd ended up on different sides of the law—a meeting across gun sights that was sure to be one blazing hellfire of an Oklahoma showdown.
