Sawyer Watson left the man he loved for dead.

Tex Bullock could handle a bullet in his chest, but not the fact of who put it there.

These two men never expected to see each other again, but now they’re in the same dead-end town, at the end of the age of the outlaw…

For fifteen years, the Barlowe Boys terrorized the West. Robbing trains, holding up banks, causing mayhem – this gang of outlaws earned its reputation. The two youngest members especially – Sawyer Watson for his smarts, Tex Bullock for his quick draw and perfect aim. Their wanted posters tell tales of an intimidating duo; off the posters, Tex and Sawyer are best friends, doing their best to survive.

But their different ideas of what it means to survive drives a wedge between them, one that eventually leads to Tex shot and Sawyer in the wind.

Seven years later, the west is almost entirely tamed and Sawyer has found himself living on the far fringes of society. He’s has settled down in Desperate Hollow, a nothing town that barely shows up on a map, and resigned himself to a meaningless existence, running moonshine and keeping the people around him at a distance. But that quiet life of penance is flipped upside down when Tex – not dead at all – shows up in the Hollow, fresh out of a fight and looking for his next scheme.

Tex is as surprised to see Sawyer as Sawyer is to see him. When circumstances bring this once formidable duo back together, old scars are reopened, arguments rehashed, and long buried feelings uncovered. But will Tex and Sawyer finally be honest with each other about how they feel before the law comes down on them for good?
