Unwanted Reunion: A YA Western

By Ash Lingam

They escaped the war...now the whole world wants them dead.

Jed Coal and John Noland deserted Quantrill's Raiders with blood on their hands and a price on their heads. The Union wants them hanged, the Confederacy wants them shot, and nearly every lawman in the West is on their trail. Jodi Goodnight never meant to be an outlaw-but one violent mistake forced her into a life on the run. Teaming up with two ex-Raiders seemed reckless, but it may be her only way out.

South of the border, the trio plots a bold heist aboard the Texas Belle, a glittering casino riverboat out of Galveston. But with Jesse and Frank James back in the picture-and Sgt. Rooster Beastly hunting them down-the score could cost them everything.

Forced into crime by fate, driven by desperation, they must decide how far they'll go to escape the past that refuses to die.

Will they burn out in a blaze of glory-or carve out a place in a world that never wanted them to survive?
