Staker Barrett, a Confederate veteran, heads west after the war with one goal: solitude. In the frozen mountains of Wyoming Territory, he finds a remote gold camp and a chance at something unexpected—love with the daughter of an immigrant.
But peace is a fragile dream. When a ruthless gang of vigilantes rides into camp asking for him by name, Staker learns that the guns of war never truly fall silent. With ally Hank Grover at his side, he must fight for survival, for justice, and for the woman who’s captured his battered heart.
Equal parts love story and tale of vengeance, Robert Peecher’s Harsh Cuts the Bitter Wind delivers the grit, gun smoke, and hard truths of a broken postwar West.
