(More customer reviews)In 1887 the Sebastian Gang assaulted Matthew Coulter Junior and his wife, Olivia. When Matthew regained consciousness, he learned that the gang had left him for dead. To Olivia, they had not only physically assaulted her, but also tortured her before finally killing her. In the aftermath, Matthew honed his weaponry skill, locked up all his emotions somewhere deep within, and vowed to track and kill all six Sebastian brothers.
In 1890, Eden Paxton and her mother, Dory, left San Francisco after Eden's fiancé broke off their engagement (in a letter) and spread rumors about her. As Eden and Dory travel toward Colorado, to live near her brothers, their train is held up by the Sebastian Gang. They kidnap Eden, intending to sell her across the Mexican border. Matthew comes upon the train shortly afterward. When Dory informs him of her daughter's abduction, he realizes he must delay his vengeance in order to rescue Eden, should she still live, and get her to safety.
During Matthew's three years of tracking the Sebastian Gang, Matthew managed to kill one of them, bringing the gang's number down to five. Eden is with the ruffians five days before Matthew locates them. Yet even after all the brutes' mauling and abuse, Eden is able to recognize the kind heart beneath Matthew's rugged exterior. **** FOUR STARS! Catherine Anderson's mellifluous stories will capture your heart and imagination. This western overflows with believable characters, suspense, drama, and a slow-blooming romance. You will not find any faint-of-heart heroine here! Eden's brothers taught her some self-defense moves and forced her to practice with weapons. Highly recommended reading! ****
