From the bestselling author of the Gideon Johann Western Series, the Wild Horse Westerns Series, and the Hand Of Western Series, comes The Marshal And Me
When the rough-and-tumble town of Buffalo Springs can't find anyone willing to take the position of city marshal after every previous lawman has fled or ended up in a pine box, the desperate mayor seeks help from the Office of the United States Marshal. U.S. Deputy Marshal Colter Gray is sent to serve in the position temporarily while he attempts to restore law and order to the town. Alongside his loyal deputy and mentor, Pete Klaus, Colter is thrust into a battle against the ruthless ruffians who run roughshod over Buffalo Springs.
But the real battle for the town's soul is fought in the heart of a young boy. When Colter befriends Rory-the impressionable son of the town's wiliest criminal - the boy finds himself caught in the middle between family and friend and good and bad. Colter partners with the spirited local schoolteacher, Miss Carrie Brodie, to steer the boy away from his father's lawless ways. As danger tightens its grip on Buffalo Springs, an unexpected romance sparks between the rugged marshal and the defiant teacher.
With death lurking around every corner and the town rallying behind them, Colter and Pete must first survive the inevitable battle. Can the lawmen succeed in bringing change to the town, or will Buffalo Springs bury two more lawmen? Can Rory be saved from a life of crime? And if Colter manages to survive, will his duty pull him back home to Denver, forcing him to leave behind the only woman who has ever captured his heart?
Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page.
