The Stranger

After the Civil War, Ronan Bailey rides north in search of a new beginning. Scarred, he hopes to find peace on the open range. But the frontier has other plans: a violent encounter on the Kansas border leaves him wounded.

Hired by a rancher, Ronan is drawn into a deadly conflict over land and loyalty. As tensions rise and old enemies resurface, Ronan must decide whether to keep running from the past—or stand and fight.

Along the way, a chance at love offers him a glimpse of the life he’s always wanted. But as danger closes in, that dream may slip through his fingers unless he can stop the violence threatening to consume everything he holds dear.

A gritty western rich with frontier justice, THE STRANGER is the eleventh book in the Bailey Clan Westerns series by Terence Newnes.
