Description
Land is power in the Wild West

In the area around Ayli Valley, Leonard Duke has been seizing all the cattle ranching land, bullying and stealing to get what he wants.

Owen Lismore and his brother Oliver were left Ayli after their father died in a riding accident – a suspicious death, as he was a gifted rider.

Oliver has fallen in with a bad crowd, and when Owen confronts and humiliates him and his gunslinger sidekick, he decides to have his brother killed in revenge.

Owen enters a boxing tournament not knowing that it has been fixed so that he won’t leave the ring alive.

When he makes a narrow escape, the beautiful Rosalind Pond and feisty Celia Duke help conceal him from the law.

When Celia is banned from seeing Rosalind, the two women run away together, disguised as husband and wife.

They quickly fall into the clutches of a dangerous group of outcasts, who take them prisoner.

Owen, hearing of Rosalind’s abduction, rides to attempt her rescue, not knowing that his brother is now under orders from the crooked Duke and in hot pursuit.

The lives of everyone Owen cares about hang in the balance as a bloody showdown approaches…

Shooting Match is a thrilling Western story of two brothers’ quarrel and its deadly consequences.

Thank you. Would it have been more fun if it was called Shootin' Match? I suspect it would.

Yes, it sounds way too literate when it's spelled correctly.
