Taylor Callahan, Circuit Rider (Taylor Callahan, Circuit Rider #1)
by William W. Johnstone J.A. JohnstoneJOHNSTONE COUNTRY. THE BULLET STOPS HERE.Introducing one of the most unusual heroes of the lawless West—a mysterious man in black who rides from town to town, delivering hope, healing, and hard-fought justice . . . his way. In his younger days, Taylor Callahan didn&’t know right from wrong—and didn&’t much care either. As a Confederate bushwhacker, renegade outlaw, and all-around hellraiser, he gave the devil himself a run for his money. Most folks figured Taylor would end up swinging from a noose or shot dead in poker game. But somewhere along the road to perdition, he decided to change his wicked ways. To atone for his sins. And to fight the good fight—against the evil that men do. . . . So he became a traveling preacher. But Taylor Callahan is no ordinary preacher. He rides the western circuit looking to help lost souls. But his mission of peace takes a violent turn when he enters the godforsaken town of Falstaff, Texas. Better known to locals as &“False Hope,&” this one-time paradise has become a purgatory for homesteaders—thanks to a greedy rancher, corrupt mayor, and notorious confidence man. Even so, Callahan vows to keep his Colt .45 in his saddle bag. But when these lowlife devils pull out sticks of dynamite, a man has to do what a man has to do—before the whole town is blown to kingdom come. . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
Te tengo en mi piel (Segundas oportunidades #2)
by Bela Marbel«Cómo sacarla de mi cabeza, cuando todo mi cuerpo respira su esencia». «Yo no era yo, apenas era un reflejo de lo que me rodeaba. Quería lo que no amaba, amaba lo que detestaba. Tenía miedo. Escogí el camino equivocado y todos sufrimos por ello. La vida me dio una segunda oportunidad y la arrojé a la basura. Mi alma se deshizo en sangre. Merezco el dolor, lo acojo. Siempre he ido por la vida haciendo mi voluntad, nada me importa más que ser feliz día a día. Pero ella fue capaz de volverme loco, de dar la vuelta a mis principios y mover mis cimientos. Fui un insensato jugando a ser héroe, la puse en peligro, provoqué a los demonios, y me moví al límite de lo prohibido. No acepto el dolor, lo combato». Dos fuerzas contrarias se desatan en el pequeño pueblo de Wellstone, chocando entre sí apoyadas por la ira y la costumbre. Candy no está preparada para luchar. Byron nació con los puños en alto. Se desean. Se aman. Se hieren. El destino está jugando con ellos y solo pueden apostar y descubrir sus cartas... O no.

Telegraph Days
by Larry McmurtryNot since the publication of his own beloved classicLonesome Dovehas there been a novel like this one -- another big, brilliant, unputdownable saga of the West from Larry McMurtry. Telegraph Daysis at once a major work of literature and a completely absorbing read, not just great fiction, but fiction on a great scale, encompassing many years, many characters, real and fictional, and the whole vast landscape of place, time, life, and heart, which has served for more than one hundred thirty years as the background for "the Western" in fiction and on the screen. Nobody writes, or has ever written, better about the West than Larry McMurtry, and nobody has caught better in words its myths, its often brutal reality, its overwhelming size, and the way it captured both the imagination and the hopes of those who settled there, only, as was so often the case, to dash those hopes. Told in the voice of Nellie Courtright, a spunky, courageous, attractive young woman whose story this is in part,Telegraph Daysis the big novel of the Western gunfighters that people have been hoping for years Larry McMurtry would write. When Nellie and her brother Jackson are unexpectedly orphaned by their father's suicide on his new and unprosperous ranch, they make their way to the nearby town of Rita Blanca, where Jackson manages to secure a job as a sheriff's deputy, while Nellie, ever resourceful, becomes the town's telegrapher. Together, they inadvertently put Rita Blanca on the map when young Jackson succeeds in shooting down all six of the ferocious Yazee brothers in a gunfight that brings him lifelong fame but which he can never repeat because his success came purely out of luck. Propelled by her own energy and commonsense approach to life, Nellie meets and almost conquers the heart of Buffalo Bill, the man she will love most in her long life, and goes on to meet, and witness the exploits of, Billy the Kid, the Earp brothers, and Doc Holliday. She even gets a ringside seat at the Battle at the O. K. Corral, the most famous gunfight in Western history, and eventually lives long enough to see the West and its gunfighters turned into movies. Full of life, love, shootings, real Western heroes and villains,Telegraph Daysis Larry McMurtry at his epic best, in his most ambitious Western novel sinceLonesome Dove.
