Iron and Ashes The Preacher's Pistol

A lawman at heart. A woman on the run. A choice that could change everything. Ex-marshal Lucas Callahan never wanted to leave the job he loved, but when forced to choose between the law and his estranged brother, he walked away - swapping his badge for the quiet life of a Texas rancher. He thought his past was behind him... until a woman arrives at his doorstep, carrying a newborn and a message that changes everything. Annie Whitaker has nowhere else to turn. With danger closing in, she follows the one instruction she was given - find Lucas Callahan. He's strong, guarded, and nothing like the man she expected, but he may be the only person who can keep her and the baby safe. As enemies from the past resurface and secrets begin to unravel, Lucas must face the truth: some promises can't be ignored, some battles can't be avoided, and some hearts aren't as closed off as they seem. Under the Texas sun, a pistol and a promise change everything. A sweeping historical western romance filled with faith, redemption, and love that stands against all odds.
