The Last Wild Ride

Sam Jeffries doesn't have much to live for. His wife left him for another man and then promptly up and died. Everyone believes he had something to do with her demise. His rival, Ike Ramsey, rules this part of western Colorado with an iron fist.

And now Sam has an impossible task. An old acquaintance has introduced him to Lorena and her mute son, Asa. The two desperately need his help to escape Colorado.

Lorena married Ike's son, Hoag. As soon as he showed his true, brutal nature, she shot Hoag, took Asa, and ran. Sam knows that Ike and his harpy of a wife, Emma, won't stop until they've caught and punished Lorena. Sam is the only one who can protect them as they travel south to meet Lorena's family in Texas.

The three put in their lots with two old army scouts and a roguish gambler. As the group travels through the badlands, Sam will find out that he may have put his trust in the wrong people. As Ike, his vicious wife, sons, and hired guns dog them at every turn, Sam, Lorena, and Asa will all have to outwit and outrun their pursuers.
