The Promise of America

From the Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century comes a sweeping Arizona saga of rival empires, a family shattered by greed, and one man's relentless quest for revenge.

In Arizona territory, the prosperous town of Copper Canyon owes its existence to Stinnett's Crooked S Ranch and Alistair Duncan's copper mines. The wealth each man has amassed is beyond measure. They have divided the land's resources between them, employing most of the townsfolk as ranchers and miners. They use their power and profit to maintain control over their empires from competing business interests--and to keep the peace between them.

Alistair Duncan's mines aren't his only legacy. His children, including son Brock and daughter Fiona, will one day inherit everything he's built. Stinnett has no heirs. To ensure his ranch's future, he sets his sights on courting Fiona, and considers hiring Brock as a cowboy. But when Stinnett learns that the Duncans plan to expand their operation after discovering coal and gold in a cave, he dynamites it--unaware Alistair and his sons were inside.

Stinnett was also unaware that Brock survived. With his father and brothers dead and his grieving sister finding solace with their family's murderer, Brock loads his six guns, hellbent on a quest for revenge . . .
