The Devil's Payload
Informacje o e-booku
It all started when Clint Adams came to the rescue of a damsel in distress. And when the danger had passed, he discovered that the delectable Katelyn Tanner had the sexiest way of persuading him to go work for her uncle, an amateur chemist who claimed to have invented a compound that could stop food from spoiling.
Doctor Edward Laury wanted Clint to help him get his secret shipment to its destination, where he planned to sell it to the highest bidder. But that wasn't all. He also wanted the Gunsmith to make sure the potential buyers intended to use it wisely.
On the surface it seemed like a pretty straight forward job—but it turned out to be anything but. Clint had to get the wagon through some rough country and hold it against the robbers who were set on taking it for themselves. And when he finally discovered the true nature of the cargo, he found himself in a most unusual position—stealing the very wagon he'd just got through protecting!
