Rose is the kind of woman that men want so badly they will fight and even die for her.And men do die, in a battle that spreads from the brothel into the street. Topper is one of those killed while Riler is gravely wounded. Kelleren and his crew ride out of Wild Horses with Rose as their captive. But they make one big mistake.

Nothing -- not hell or high water or the United States army will keep Lobo Riler from a reckoning.

SOME SAID HE WAS A BAD MAN, SOME SAID HE WAS A GOOD MAN, BUT ONE THING WAS CERTAIN-HE WAS THE LAST MAN YOU WANTED TO CHALLENGE.The first shots of the Civil War echoed opportunity to young Ben Thompson. The same traits that had earned him notoriety as a civilian-steady nerves and deadly aim-could win him respect as a soldier. For a while he found it, riding with the famous Second Regiment, Texas Mounted Rifles. But it was in the murderous gambling dens south of the Rio Grande that Ben Thompson made his reputation. That reputation would follow him for the rest of his life: as he stared down Wild Bill Hickok in the saloons of Abilene, Kansas; as he battled for control of Colorado's railroads alongside Bat Masterson; and as he cleaned up Austin's streets as a tough-as-nails lawman. He only wanted respect for himself and his family, but it seemed that every cowboy seeking to make a name for himself would go looking for Ben Thompson...and all those names ended up marking fresh graves.
