The Pecos Reckoning

By B E Nettleton

1877.

West Texas. The Pecos River carries more than water, it carries debts.

Eli Kane, a former Texas Ranger with a Comanche past, has spent years running from the mercy he once showed a wounded warrior and the family he failed to protect. When he rides into Pecos Crossing, he plans to keep moving. Instead, he meets Elizabeth Thornton, a widow fighting to hold the ranch her husband died for against the ruthless cattle baron Silas Harlan.

As fences are cut, water poisoned, and night riders come with fire, Eli is drawn into a battle that forces him to face the oldest debt of all: the choice between riding away and standing for something that matters.

A haunting, character-driven literary Western about redemption, the cost of violence, and the love that can still take root in hard country.
