Hardin's Stand

For years, the ruthless outlaw has ruled with a whip in one hand and a noose in the other, squeezing the life and spirit out of anyone who dares stand in his way. The sheriff bows. The townsfolk look down. The preacher prays with trembling hands.

Then Cole Hardin rides in.

Scarred by his own past and tired of running, Cole finds more than a place to rest in Copper Creek-he finds a town on the brink of breaking. When Crowe's men drag him from a boarding house and tie him to the church posts for all to see, it should have been the end of him.

Instead, it becomes the spark that wakes a town.

Left beaten, gagged, and nearly hanged as an example, Cole refuses to yield-and the people who watched him suffer find something inside themselves they'd long buried: courage. Now, with a furious Crowe riding back to finish the job, Copper Creek is standing up. Not one man alone, but many-linked by blood, sweat, and a rising hope.

In a final showdown where bullets fly, ropes snap, and justice hangs by a thread, Cole Hardin's fight becomes Copper Creek's rebirth.
