The Broken Stirrup

When a sudden fall in the sagebrush nearly kills him, Bucky Mallerson knows it wasn't just bad luck—it was a warning. Riding into the troubled town of Dry Fork with nothing but a rifle and a patched rig, Bucky finds a place ruled by fear, broken law, and a man who believes the land belongs to whoever holds it longest. As intimidation turns to bloodshed and his own gear betrays him at the worst possible moment, Bucky is forced to make a stand he never planned to make. Because in the West, when leather fails and bullets fly, a man is judged by one thing alone—whether he stays in the saddle when everything else gives way.
