The Mustanger and the Lady
Summary
Vince was a mustanger with a solitary camp high in the Rusty Hills where he worked his operation alone. He liked it that way. Then on a trip back from selling some mustangs, he came across Molly, a saloon girl on the run from some pretty bad hombres. Before he knew it, her fight was his fight, and he was looking forward to a life with her. They just had to fight a small war first.

Now a beautiful, young Spanish widow comes into Chet's life just as he starts off in search of a lost cattle drive. The search leads into the eye of a sprawling, violent storm. Chet and his men - and his seductive new woman - end up on a wild ride through Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas, where authorities want to confiscate the beeves for trespassing.

Deadly Is The Night [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
In the latest installment of his epic Byrnes family saga, Western Heritage and Spur Award-winning author Dusty Richards tells of the blood that was spilled trying to make Arizona Territory a good place to live... Building a ranching empire is one thing - keeping it out of the hands of robbers, kidnappers, murderers, embezzlers, and every no good opportunist crawling through the Arizona desert is a daily grind for Chet Byrnes. He’s just as likely to rescue a stolen daughter as he is to recover rustled cattle on any given day. But with a family to keep safe and enough real target practice to keep his aim deadly, nothing’s going to stop Chet from bringing his ranch into a bold new era. And if that means he’ll have to go to war to run a new telegraph line through the godforsaken territories, he’s got the manpower, the willpower, and the bullets to light up the night with blood.... Performed by Scott McCormick, Helen Pafumi, Steve Wannall, Joe Mallon, Nathanial Perry, Alejandro Ruiz, Christopher Walker, Lawrence Redmond, Steven Carpenter, Lincoln Zada, Michael Glenn, Matthew Schleigh, Lily Beacon, Nora Achrati, Casie Platt, Deidra Starnes, David Coyne, Tim Pabon, Alyssa Wilmoth, Brian Hemmingsen, Dani Stoller, Jillian Levine-Sisson, Nanette Savard, Nick DePinto, Yasmin Tuazon, Chris Genebach, Jonathon Church, Eric Messner, Sasha Olinick, Gary Telles, Jacob Yeh, James Konicek, Al Twanmo, Danny Gavigan, Eric Singdahlsen, Eva Wilhelm, KenYatta Rogers, Christopher Scheeren, Evan Casey, Jeff Allin, Laura C Harris, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Mort Shelby, Colleen Delany, Chris Stinson, Maggie Donnelly, Ken Jackson, Siobhan Casey.

Rage for Vengeance
Summary
Born out of the grit, sweat, and drive of a cattle ranching empire, US Marshal Chet Byrnes is turning the savage and lawless Arizona desert into a homeland. To some, he's the hero that the West needs. To others, he's a moving target. Chet is spearheading a stage line from Gallup to the Colorado River. It'll be a boon to Navajo trading posts and lay out the territory for new settlements. Unfortunately, it's not Gerald Hall's idea of progress - killing Chet is. The mysterious Texas gambler has hired three kill-crazy assassins - and counting - to bury Chet under a storm of bullets. To turn the tables on a game of revenge, Chet has to match the deranged Texan play by play, body by body, and bullet for bullet. Come hell or high water, that stage line is going through - even if it's forged in blood.
