He’s a good man with a gun. She’s a saloonkeeper with secrets. And in a town where justice rides a crooked trail, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.

Jake Cassidy never wanted trouble. A quiet rancher with a haunted past, he’s spent years keeping his head down in Perdition Falls—a town choking on dust, whiskey, and the grip of a ruthless railroad baron. But when a young man nearly hangs for a crime he didn’t commit, Jake steps in… and finds himself on the wrong side of the noose. Again.

As Jake uncovers a murder, a cover-up, and the truth about his own father’s death, he realizes that the law can’t always be trusted. Sometimes justice wears a badge—and sometimes it carries a rifle.

Enter Evangeline Cross: the fiercely intelligent, scandalously composed owner of the Broken Wheel Saloon. She’s fluent in faro, flattery, and frontier survival—and she has her own reasons for wanting to see the powerful fall. Together, they form an unlikely alliance forged in suspicion and sparked by something neither expected: desire.

The Good Man’s Gun is a powerful blend of slow burn western romance, found family tropes, and classic frontier justice. Gritty and heartfelt, it explores what happens when loyalty and love collide in a town that’s forgotten both.
