Some men follow the law-Jake McCabe lays it down.
Jake McCabe didn't come to Fredericksburg looking for trouble. Fresh off a hard-won election and carrying the scars of war and old feuds, he hoped this quiet Texas town might finally offer a chance at peace. But peace is hard to come by on the frontier.
Water wars between ranchers are only the beginning. When Union renegades descend from the hills and chaos takes root, Jake finds himself outgunned and outmanned-and with his deputy laid up, he turns to the re-formed Texas Rangers for backup.
But nothing cuts deeper than what comes next. When the renegades take the woman he loves, the law becomes personal-and this time, justice wears a badge with McCabe's name on it.
