About This Book

The stagecoach run between Nevada and California travels through perilous country. It takes a special breed of man to ride shotgun on these dangerous journeys: someone willing to brave harsh weather and rugged terrain to protect passengers and precious cargo against frequent attacks from outlaws and hostile Indians.

Though his mother named him George Paxton, his friends and enemies alike know him as Montana Slim, a rangy cowpoke who likes the freewheeling lifestyle of shotgun riding just fine. Somewhere in the wilds of Montana he has a little spread, and maybe one day he'll make good on his promise to settle down there. For now, he'll stick to the footloose job that satisfies his taste for adventure and his need for freedom.

But the sun might be about to set on that fiercely independent life that Slim so loves. At the end of a particularly tough run to Reno, Nevada, Slim meets Julie Conklin. Julie is a beautiful and headstrong girl who might just be the one with the right combination of gumption and glamour to rope a maverick in.

The Shotgun Rider and the Lady is a lustily flavorsome, high-spirited tale of the Old West full of vivid characters, heart-pounding action and earthy romance.
