The Darkest Winter (The Frontiersman #3)

the long version

HE FOLLOWED THE CALL OF THE WILD. KILLERS FOLLOWED HIM Exited from the Smoky Mountains for gunning down a man in self-defense. Breck Wallace tries to make a new home in St. Louis, even tries his hand in romance, but some men are too wild to settle down. Breck is soon back on the trail, where a vicious gang of trappers, after his goods, picks up his scent and begins to dog his every step, until Breck's only chance is to bed down for the winter with a tribe of friendly Indians. In the frigid, brutal cold of a Rocky Mountain winter, he hopes to find peace... but death is not done with Breck Wallace. When Breck's partner Morgan, is left for dead, the frontiersman must ride deeper into the mountains than he has ever gone before. Please be damned. The blood will flow until vengeance is his alone....
