The Dead Man Rides Again

A Historical Western Adventure Novel

The American West is no place for the weak and Luke Dalton knows that better than most. An ex-soldier turned Overland Trail guide, he’s spent years in hostile lands, his rifle the only thing standing between life and death. The war left him with scars but out here, there’s no time to dwell on the past. Survival is simple: keep moving, keep fighting, and never get attached.

Emma Woodland has never backed down from a fight. Left to run her family’s ranch alone, she’s learned the hard way that a strong will and a steady hand are the only things keeping her land from being swallowed whole. When trouble rolls in with the dust, she has no choice but to trust the trail-worn guide with eyes as weary as the land itself.

With the Overland Way under siege, outlaws and rival factions threaten everything they hold dear. As shadows from Luke’s past rise with a vengeance, the stakes turn deadly. Luke and Emma must decide whether to stand alone—or risk everything on a bond that could cost them their lives.
