What could be better than loving a brave and beautiful woman? What could be better than seeking a true home after years of the dangerous life a gambler and gunfighter leads? What could be better than having friends willing to back your play, with no questions, because it's the right thing?

What could be better than all that?

Surviving a Showdown in Shadow Creek!

Showdown in Shadow Creek steps back in time to a place where men earned what was theirs at the end of a smoking gun. Where nothing was free except the air that you breathe. Where a bend in the trail could hide fortune or death. Where the only land a man was sure to own was a four-foot by eight-foot plot on boot hill.

Being shot at was nothing new to J. R. Bell. A gambler by choice and gunfighter by necessity, it was the risk he faced everyday of his life. But now he wants to change that life and his fate leads him to Shadow Creek and his one chance to settle down. In town only hours, he meets Eve Southerland and is wounded by an unknown assailant. His fortune and misfortune combine and lead him inextricably toward a confrontation with destiny.

Amid unanswered questions of a town hiding a secret, the streets of Shadow Creek becoming over-populated with hired guns, and a murderous scheme to separate him from what’s rightfully his,  J. R. falls in love. Only one thing stands in the way of his claiming the heart of Eve Southerland and starting a new life.

Are John and Eve willing to fight to get what they want? Or, will they lose everything at a Showdown in Shadow Creek?
