Kiowa Trail

Kate Lundy, owner of the Tumbling B, and Conn Dury, her foreman, told Tom the rules: men from the cattle drives are forbidden on the north side of town. People appreciated the money the cowboys spent but thought them too coarse to be near their homes. Enticed to come calling by Linda McDonald, daughter of one of the leading citizens, Tom Lundy broke the law and crossed the line. Later that night, he was dead.

Outraged by her brother’s murder, Kate vows to destroy the entire town. But when Aaron McDonald sends east for an army of hired guns, Conn Dury and the men of the Tumbling B soon wonder if the price of Kate’s revenge is too high.

From the Inside Flap

It was no crime for a young cowboy to want to talk to a pretty girl, but that was what got Tom Lundy killed.  The hard men of the Tumbling B, who had survived stampede and Kiowa lance to drive their herd up from Big Bend country, wanted to burn the town down.  But Kate Lundy, the Tumbling B's owner, had a better plan.  Calling on dozens of seasoned fighters, Kate aimed to strangle the town that lived off cowboy money but had no use for the Texans themselves.  With her rugged foreman, Conn Dury, at her side, the proud and beautiful woman might just stand a chance.  Because Conn Dury knows all about revenge--and in Kate's wild fight he's out to get some of his own.
