Latigo's Trouble: Meltdown in Leadville (A Historical Western Series)

In the rugged Colorado high country of the 1880s, Latigo Smith is bracing for the toughest battle of his life.

Ready to settle down with his bride on a tranquil ranch, Latigo envisions a peaceful future amid the region's booming gold and silver strikes. But danger lurks with outlaws and opportunists running rampant.

When old friend Marshall Bart Anderson arrives from the lawless boomtown of Leadville, overwhelmed by its widespread crime, he pleads for Latigo's help. Torn between his desire for a peaceful life and a sense of duty to his friend, Latigo finds himself drawn back into the fray.

After outlaws steal his horses and menace his new home, he faces an agonizing choice: stand by and hope for peace or risk it all to protect his friend and his future. As tensions mount, Latigo must confront a truth he can't ignore-some battles are forged in the heart, and victory demands more than courage.
