"Bill Stillings looked hungrily at Martha Southard. He wanted her so much it hurt. But when he stared at the band of horseman galloping toward him he knew he was going to lose her and everything else that mattered. It was a posse with Beaudry, crooked sheriff of Bowie, in the lead. They were coming after him on a faked charge and they weren't interested in taking him alive. Black bitterness filled his heart. Should he stay and fight the posse?
