COURAGE ON TRIAL (A Jason Peares historical western)
In 1875, outlaw gunfighter Jason Peares falls in love with Renee-Simone Fouché, the beautiful and seductive French Woman, while on the run from deadly man-hunters, professional detectives of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Eventually, he discovers she's part of an intricately woven plot to capture him and she alone holds a dangerous secret - proof that can either free him from outlaw life or get him killed.
Heart-broken and betrayed, Jason evades Renee and her Pinkerton detectives and escapes into the rugged terrain of northern Arizona. But when he learns that roving slave traders have kidnapped Renee, Jason must find a way to deal with the pain of betrayal and face the ultimate sacrifice. He must use the same deadly skills to save her that got him crossed with the law. But saving her from certain death means sacrificing his own freedom and facing hanging.
