Award-winning author Melody Groves brings back the Colton Brothers for another action-packed, show-stopping adventure!

Andy Colton, the youngest of the Colton brothers, leaves Mesilla to pursue gold mining in New Mexico's Black Range. However, he finds little gold and is captured by a runaway slave while fleeing from a band of Apache. Andy recovers from his wounds with the help of the slave but soon realizes that the man wants a "boy of his own."

When news reaches Mesilla that the Apache have raided Santa Rita and Pinos Altos-areas where Andy was last known to be-his brothers Trace and James set out to search for him. Meanwhile, their third brother, Luke, arrives in Mesilla from Kansas for a visit but stays behind to help James and Trace's wives.

After being sold to the Apache by the slave, Andy is used as bait to lure James in for revenge-James had killed the Apache leader's brother. A fight ensues between the Coltons and the Apache at the church in Pinos Altos, ensuring an explosive showdown not soon to be forgotten.
