Poison Springs' Feud by the late British author S. J. Bounds (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE), a prolific multi-genre author whose influence has been honoured by the creation of the British Fantasy Awards' Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award, is his vintage standalone western historical action novel, this one a Homeric-sounding tale of a sheriff's widow's ensuing suitor feud turning deadly as one of them will apparently stop at nothing to eliminate the rivals in his way, possibly including her original husband, for whom the widow seeks justice for his murder by whatever means necessary even as her daughter's kidnapping sparks a ranch war, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Pioneering imprint.

This was originally published in 1955 by Fiction House Ltd using the pseudonym Wes Sanders and was later reprinted by Robert Hale as part of their Black Horse Western line using the pseudonym Cliff Wallace.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
The ties that bind…

Tessa Hale is happily married to John Hale, sheriff of Poison Springs.

Tessa met John at the tender age of eighteen, then a gunman in hiding. Despite her father’s wishes, their love blossomed.

With a family on the way, John was eager to provide a safe and respectable place for his children, so he made a home in Poison Springs, a town desperate for peace.

But one terrible night, Tessa’s peaceful and idyllic life is shattered with the news that John has been killed?

Tessa knows she will not rest until her husband’s killer is found.

But what can she do to find the killer?

But with John gone, it’s not long before locals start competing for Tessa’s affections.

Desperate to make Tessa his wife, Jackie Frost resorts to extreme measures to ensure he is the one to secure the prize – even if that means eliminating anyone who stands in his way.

The feud between the ranchers reaches a climax and things go from bad to worse when Tessa’s daughter is kidnapped.

But Tessa knew that she could always rely on John’s old pal Garrett.

He may have always been on the right side of the law, but he would do everything in his power to revenge the death of the man he respected. Especially when the life of John’s daughter is in danger…

In this action-packed tale of the old West, one woman’s search for justice suddenly escalates into a full on ranch war.
