The Cavalier

When the war ended, his real fight began. In the turbulent aftermath of the Civil War, former Confederate ranger Noah MacLean trades his gray coat for a Pinkerton badge, taking on a case that pulls him deep into a web of greed, blackmail, and murder. Hired by the ruthless Dillon Sinclaire to locate a young woman named Emily Ashley, the secret heir to a gold mining fortune, Noah quickly realizes his client's intentions are far from honorable. Emily, the illegitimate daughter of a Philadelphia madam, has reinvented herself as the headmistress of a San Francisco finishing school, but Dillon will stop at nothing to destroy her reputation and steal her inheritance. As Noah uncovers the truth, his loyalty shifts from employer to protector, and his growing feelings for Emily put them both in the crosshairs of hired killers. Set against the sweeping backdrop of the late 19th century American West, The Cavalier is historical western fiction at its finest, a gripping tale of honor, deception, and redemption perfect for readers of Louis L'Amour and Elmer Kelton. The first installment in the MacLean Brothers Series, this is a literary western novel where justice isn't given, it's fought for, one bullet and one brave choice at a time.
