Bonanza Trail by John Dyson

Dawson City was a rumbustious boom-town where whisky and champagne flowed. Men lost fortunes on the throw of a dice as thousands of greenhorns flocked into the Yukon’s golden triangle.

Hunter and guide Scope Mitchell was better equipped than most to survive the perils of the wilderness, but he had a battle on his hands when Frenchie Pete and his gang of thugs began stalking him.

Would his lone rifle be a match for the outlaws?

Buck and the Widow Rancher by Carlton Youngblood

Somebody doesn’t like the idea of James Buckley Armstrong coming to help a recently widowed woman. His welcome to the basin is an ambush that leaves one man dead. The problems facing the young widow are overpowering: first her husband was killed, then gambling IOUs showed up and now a bank loan is due and payable. To top it off, rustlers are stealing her herd.

Buck doesn’t know where to start, but after he is ambushed for a second time and beaten unconscious, he gets mad. Waking up somewhere in the middle of a sand blow with no water, no hat and no horse only makes Buck ready to even the score.
