Former U.S. Marshal Roscoe Mcleod once believed the badge stood for justice. That belief died the day he discovered a ring of men preying on children, and took the law into his own hands. Disgraced and dismissed rather than praised, Roscoe leaves Texas behind, hoping to outrun his past and start anew in the Arizona Territory, where his brother has built a quiet life.
All he wants is solitude, open sky, and a hard ride west.
Fate has other plans.
His journey brings him to a desert town gripped by fear and violence. The mayor's daughter, Martha Hodges, has been taken by highwaymen, and against his better judgment, Roscoe steps in. When he rescues her in a daring nighttime raid, he expects a hero's reward, or at least peace of mind.
What he gets instead is the truth.
Martha wasn't taken by outlaws. She was given to them by her own father, in a deal gone wrong. Terrified of being forced back into his control, she begs Roscoe to take her anywhere but home. He agrees, intending only to escort her to safety. But as they journey through relentless desert sun, campfire nights, and gunfire-laced towns, an unexpected connection grows between them.
Roscoe, a man haunted by the loss of his wife, never intended to feel again.
Martha, fiercely independent and wounded by betrayal, never intended to trust again.
Together, they begin to heal.
But their pasts aren't done with them. A vengeful outlaw with a dark tie to Mcleod's own past tracks them through the badlands. Ambushed, Roscoe is shot and left for dead. Martha is taken.
Bleeding and alone, Roscoe must saddle up one last time, not as a marshal, not as a broken man chasing ghosts, but as someone fighting for the future he never believed he deserved.
A future waiting beyond the next sunrise.
Chasing Sunsets is a Western romantic adventure about redemption, resilience, and the courage to love again. Packed with gunfights, grit, and slow-burning passion, it's the story of a man who thought his final chapter had already been written, until he met the woman willing to ride into the unknown beside him.
