In 1876 the seemingly impossible happened in San Antonio, Texas--Emmett Strong, a prodigy of a pistolero, accidentally shot his own young wife in a showdown gone awry.

Five years later, death again visits Emmett's family. And now, want to or not, he's going to have to overcome his reluctance to draw his six-gun if he's to catch and bring to justice the crazed gunman who murdered his brother. The pursuit of his brother's killer takes him all the way to Nevada's Comstock country where the assassin has taken refuge with rich and powerful kin.
 Among the many unforeseen situations Emmett encounters in Nevada is forbidden love when he falls for Li Xu, the fascinating daughter of Chinese immigrants. But before the relationship has time to bloom, Li Xu disappears--kidnapped  along with five other young women.
 Can Emmett afford to leave off the chase of his brother's murderer to search for and rescue the women? Can he afford not to? With success hanging on quick thinking and quick shooting, can he take one last shot at both love and retribution?

From the Author:
"In Strong Convictions, I've fused elements of the modern suspense/thriller genre with many of the conventions of the classic Western in an effort to produce a story that moves forward at an exciting pace without stripping the frontier setting of its color and flavor. I believe a lot of folks will really enjoy the outcome."
From the Back Cover:
Texas Ranger Emmett Strong is a man on a mission. Two missions, in fact.
 
When Strong straps on his six-gun and sets out with friends Juanito Galvez and Granville Sikes to capture and bring to justice the man who murdered his brother, he isn't always quick to unholster his weapon. But there's no time to hesitate when going against an assassin who's taken refuge with a cruel and wealthy brother and his band of armed and deadly outlaws.
 
And that isn't the sum of his worries. Strong, whose wife died in a shoot-out gone awry, finds romance again when he meets the daughter of a Chinese immigrant family. He's reluctant to cross cultural barriers but must put that aside when she and five other young women are kidnapped.
 
With success hanging on quick thinking and quick shooting, can he afford to take one last shot at both love and retribution?
