Slocum's running hot and cold... One man’s misfortune is another man’s gain. In John Slocum’s case, he gets his hands on road agents’ poorly hidden bags of stolen silver. Making off with the loot, he slips into Tombstone hoping to enjoy his winnings peacefully. But that’s never the case for someone like Slocum… Easy on the eyes, Spring Atkins can make a man feel warm inside, but her heart is as cold as ice. Slocum’s instinct is on the mark when he learns from her sisters, Summer and Autumn—that Spring stole the ore-rich Silver Chalice mine from them. He knows better than to get in the middle of a family dispute, but when the road agents come looking for revenge, he can use the seasons to his advantage—if they don’t leave him as dead as a winter frost…

THE KING IS DEAD Wyoming rancher Bill Werter is in serious trouble when Texas fever claims a number of his cattle—including his prize bull, King. Now, he needs someone trustworthy to ride into Mexico with ten thousand dollars of his hard-earned money to buy the only bull that could take King’s place: El Duque. Good thing Werter has a friend like the Gunsmith. When word gets out that Clint Adams is heading to Mexico with pockets full of cash, it doesn’t take long for a few bad seeds to spring into action. But tracking the Gunsmith isn’t easy. It’s not safe either—and that’s no bull. OVER 15 MILLION GUNSMITH BOOKS IN PRINT!
