The Gunfighter
Robert J. Conley - 2001
One day brings the meanest gunfighter in the West – nicknamed the Widowmaker – into town, and though he says he wants to live a quiet life, the whole town’s on the edge of their seat. Who has he come to kill this time? At everyone’s insistence, Barjack does his job to suss out what the Widowmaker really wants – but wouldn’t you the guy’s actually real friendly once you share a drink or two with him… Trouble’s brewing in Asininity, and it looks like it ain’t coming from the Widowmaker. It’s looking like Barjack may need to work together with the fearsome gunfighter to bring peace back to town – if such a thing is possible. Praise for Robert J. Conley “Conley portrays the rough and tumble frontier from the Indian point of view… Veteran novelist Conley works on three levels: murder mystery, frontier political potboiler, and the search for personal identity.” —

Sunday Journal-Star (Lincoln, NE)
“Conley [is] among the most productive and inventive of modem Western novelists” — Dale L. Walker, Rocky Mountain News “Conley speaks with a clear Cherokee Indian voice to show how his tribe’s cultural characteristics have survived centuries of abrupt change to give readers an understanding of the fullness and humanity of the Cherokees as a people.” —

The Outsider

Hyde
Lauren Stewart - 2012
It includes lots of cursing, descriptive sex, biting sarcasm, and dark themes. HYDE was inspired by Stevenson's novella but is not a retelling, in part because he and this author have very different definitions of 'bad boy'.Honesty is impossible when you don't know the truth to begin with.Mitchell Turner is everything women want most in a man--he's charismatic, successful, and undeniably gorgeous. But he's not a man--he's a monster. By venting his rage 24/7, Mitch keeps people out of the danger zone that surrounds him. But, after the most incredible night of his life, he realizes that might not be possible. Except the woman he wakes up with claims she doesn't remember any of it. And that kind of thing can make a guy insecure.Eden Colfax is kind, loyal, honest to a fault, and cavity-inducing sweet. To rid herself of the monsters that haunted her broken childhood, Eden doesn't lie, doesn't curse, and definitely never wakes up naked in strangers' beds...until the day she does. Then the flashbacks start--places she's never been, people she's never met, blood she's never spilled. And the only person with any answers is a man she never wants to see again.What they don't know is that someone is manipulating them, determined to find out exactly what they're capable of. And when the truth leaves them nothing to hold onto, they will be forced into a partnership neither expected. Or wanted.But in life, who you trust is as important as who you are. And when you can't even trust yourself, sometimes the only person you can rely on is the last person on earth you should be falling for.
