The Blacksmith

A Classic Western Adventure

A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance

Five years ago Tobias “TJ” Jackman shot a corrupt marshal in self-defense.
He served five years for it, and now that he’s out, he’s never going back.

Once, he was a blacksmith.
Now, he’s a man trying to stay ahead of his own mistakes.

When he rides into San Carvo, all he wants is a fresh start and honest work. Instead, he finds Alyssa Welch. She’s sharp-minded, stubborn, and running a freight yard on the edge of ruin.
Alyssa hires him out of desperation, not trust. He stays for the same reason.

But the longer he’s there, the more he realizes something is wrong in San Carvo, and Alyssa is at the center of it.
Her brother’s been missing for months, and Elias Collins, the town’s richest man, is making threats against her business.

TJ’s starting to think those threats and her brother’s disappearance are related. The trouble is, he can’t prove anything, and people are too scared to talk.
Justice and revenge were once the same thing to him. Now he isn’t sure either exists.
How far can a man go to make things right before he becomes what he hates?

Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
