      "Stranded in a tiny Texas hotel, Giselle Thibodeaux sees Kit Robertson, a fading country music star from her hometown. Overwhelmed with nostalgia, and hoping Kit might have answers to the secrets surrounding her parents, Giselle pretends to be a reporter seeking a story about his father, Pope Robertson, a one-time famous Texas Ranger. Although he doesn't recognize her, Kit is drawn to Giselle and opens up about the grisly murders that shook the small western town they grew up in. Kit tells the story of playing near the river, when he and his best friend, Whitey, stumble upon the body of a mutilated young woman. As they race back to town, they meet Asa Jenkins, the town's half-white, half-Comanche, marshal. Asa begs Kit's father, a former ranger, to help him solve the murder. Resentful that his father is so old, Kit nonetheless assists Pope and Asa as they struggle to uncover a killer who strikes again and again. Driven into a frenzy of fear, the townspeople lash out at every person they see as different. Pope must stand alone in defending Asa against a hysterical crowd gone mad with terror. Kit and Whitey look death in the face, striving to overcome the hardships life has dealt them. And in the end, Kit reveals to Giselle the heartbreaking truth of her birth"--"--

      SMALL TOWN TEXAS. BIG TIME TROUBLE.It's hard to be a woman in the Wild Wild West. And if that woman is wearing a badge and slinging a six-shooter, it's even harder. Especially for any foolhardy man who gets in her way . . . The frontier town of Ring Bit, Texas, has a way of attracting trouble. Shootouts. Showdowns. Shady drifters. But it's never seen anything like the mysterious gunman Hawkshaw. Is he good or evil? As the town marshal, it's Tennessee Smith's job to keep an eye on him. Which is okay because he sure is easy on the eyes . . .Of course, Tennessee needs another man in her life like she needs a hole in the head. This mail-order bride-turned-widow is raising three young stepsons on her own. And now she's taking the boys to Austin to get married again. Between outlaws and in-laws, she's got her hands full. When Tennessee's stagecoach is ambushed--and she's taken hostage--she could use help to shoot her way out. Even if that someone is a dangerously mysterious gunman named Hawkshaw . . .
