Blood on the Mountain — A.T. Butler

In the mountains of eastern Arizona Territory, bounty hunter Jacob Payne's skills are required to rescue a teenage girl.

Flora Kimball has been kidnapped from her family's farm, right under her father's nose. The neighbors of Elk Springs refuse to help, content to leave her to her fate. When Jacob learns of the tragedy, he teams up with a family friend to go after the outlaw and his captive.

Despite overwhelming odds, a skittish horse, and uncertain allies, Jacob vows to bring this girl home safely and unharmed ...

*** More than twice as long as previous books, Blood on the Mountain is fourth in the Jacob Payne series of western novels. Each book is a standalone story. They can be read out of order, but reading experience is enhanced if the series is read consecutively. ***
