Book two in the Broken Spoke series...although all books stand alone for a reader. To become a man of importance at Wells Fargo was Luke Mallory's dream, so it's a sad day when he is unjustly fired...for trusting a crooked employee. Returning to Broken Spoke and Timony Fairbourn, the woman he loves, is all the more frustrating because she is mad at him for leaving her in the first place. As usual, trouble has found its way to Broken Spoke, and this time greedy rancher Preston Hytower is planning to divert the local creek water to his own special cattle and ruin the farmers. Plus he is an abusive husband and plans to steal the entire valley. If Hytower won't obey the laws of common decency, Luke decides he might respond to Gun Law at Broken Spoke!
