"Someone was out to get Pace Larrabee! Someone had crippled him in an ambush, killed one of his men, and rustled a herd of horses...someone had stampeded his cattle and threatened to poison his water holes. Pace had carved a thriving ranch in the wild, untamed wilderness of Oregon. He'd been helped by Arliss, the woman who staked him to a strange, passionless partnership, but he had to be wary of Gilgen, the man with a dark past and a strange hold over Arliss. And, he had other enemies. Was his foe among the nesters who poached on the land back in the hills? Even their fiery women had their reasons for hating him. One from among the enemy legion was about to step forth, one with an obsession and a deadly aim - to kill Pace Larrabee!" --

Next to barbed wire, there was nothing a cattleman hated more than sheep. It wasn't surprising then, that the ranchers in Hard Rock County would react in anger to Chance Abelard's decision to turn over a portion of his ranch to sheep herding. Under the leadership of Pearce Jerome, owner of the largest ranch in the area, the Cowmen's Protective Association was formed. With the single exception of Chance Abelard, every rancher joined it. Tempers flared, and besides the threat of force, the Association meant to black-list Abelard's Two C Ranch. It was a tough deal, but Chance Abelard knew he was right and meant to prove it--even if someone got hurt in the bloody fight that loomed ahead

Tully Gale never meant to cause trouble. He was only chasing his spirited mustang when he happened upon it. A dam. It didn't seem so bad until he realized it was holding up the only source of water for miles. And Sugar Lagg had put it there on purpose. The horse trader and his crew of cutthroats wanted the land for themselves--and were willing to cause a drought to get it. For Splinter Creek to run again, Tully would have to outwit the gang leader. He just hoped his plans wouldn't spark an all-out range war

Kelly Drake was a drifter who came out of Texas following the trail herds. He was tired of being a drifter so when he got to the town of Lone Point he thought this might be a place he could settle down. Then he found big Rio there with his girl, and Chance Comber, another enemy from his past. But worse, Trench Durnbo-spoiling for a shoot-out that would make him top gun. Maybe Kelly should have just drifted as usual. Instead he rode right into trouble behind blazing side-guns-gambling for a woman, a ranch and a place in the sun
