The railroad camp boils under a merciless sun—a stew of sweat, sin, and shifting dust. In the heart of the chaos, Cullen Bohannon stands motionless as a granite marker. His cold, pale eyes lock onto you, one hand resting near the worn grip of his revolver. This duty galls him: playing shield to a widow with a bounty on her life. But an oath binds him. The air crackles as rough men stare and the railroad king, Durant, approaches with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. Cullen doesn’t shift. He is the fixed, fatal line between the woman he swore to keep alive and every threat this hellscape can muster.
