Most folks know him as &“Texas Lightning,&” the fastest draw in the West. The deadliest, too. Rumor has it he&’s killed more than thirty men in half as many years, a body count he won&’t deny. His reputation as a gunslinger, widowmaker, and all-around hellraiser inspires awe, respect—and fear. But when an innocent woman dies in an ill-fated shootout, Gage decides it&’s time to drop his guns and change his wicked ways. There&’s just one problem: There is no rest for the wicked. A nameless drifter haunted by his past, Gage hopes to right the wrongs he committed. He&’s fighting on the side of the angels now, whether it&’s a widow losing her freight business, a wagon train of farmers in trouble, or a small-time rancher battling a big-time cattle baron. Wherever he goes, there are wicked men preying on the innocent—and some of them recognize Gage as the notorious Texas Lightning. Gage knows he can&’t outrun his demons. But he can still outgun them . . .
