Life can change without warning. Waking up on a westbound train headed for New Mexico, Gaslight Boy from St. Louis, Missouri, Rastus (Rassie) Cohen had no idea how drastic that change would be. After being tossed from the train, he walked into a train station and into a situation he didn’t understand. In the blink of an eye, Rassie finds himself the guardian of a young lady and a saddlebag filled with gold.
Catfish John, a notorious outlaw wants that gold and will stop at nothing to get it. Young and inexperienced, Rassie might be, but he was smart enough to take on the U. S. Marshal’s job when it was offered. And he was smart enough to hire an Apache warrior for his deputy. Rassie had a lot to learn about the west and Catfish John was going to make sure he didn’t live long enough to learn anything.
Falling in love, Rassie and the young lady he’s sworn to protect, race against time to rid the west of Catfish John. From Santa Fe to a train station in the middle of nowhere, Rassie and Emma will do whatever it takes to put Catfish John behind bars before the man puts Rassie in the grave.
