Official synopsis Publisher
For generations, the Jensens have struggled to build their home, their land, and their dreams. But now the family is forced to fight fire with fire, bullet by bullet, blood for blood…
For Smoke and his daughter Denny, life on the Sugarloaf Ranch is more valuable than all the gold in the world. Which works out fine, since all the gold mines in Big Rock were squeezed dry years ago. Even so, that won’t stop a pair of smooth-talking businessmen from trying to squeeze out a little more. One of them has developed a newfangled method for extracting gold–something called “hydraulics”–and he’s bought up all the old mines to do it. His partner is the son of legendary gunfighter Frank Morgan, and Denny thinks he’s awful handsome. Smoke isn’t sure what to think of these would-be gold-diggers. Especially when the handsome one triggers a rivalry with Denny’s off-and-on beau, a U.S. Deputy. And then the smart one hires a small army of gunfighter to protect his mines from sabotage…
The Jensons can smell trouble brewing from a mile away. And when it involves gold, guns, and good love gone bad, it’s more than just trouble. It’s a massacre waiting to happen…
