The Gunslinger

"Chance Wilder never wanted to be a hero. A road-weary gunslinger with a ruthless reputation, he focuses only on his next target - and his next payday. That is, until a young boy offers Chance everything he owns - a piece of string, a harmonica, and a bent penny - if he'll save his sister from a couple of thugs. Chance agrees, only to discover that the beautiful, fierce young woman in need of rescue is actually the very person he's been hunting: his next mark. But after he saves her, Lillian Madison awakens in him long-buried dreams and possibilities. Facing the demons of his past, Chance is forced to question his next move. Dare he risk everything by following his heart... and trust that the road to redemption begins with Lillian?" -- back cover.
