Battle At Broken Knee

Trouble always seems to find Careless O’Connor

But when he comes across a wrecked wagon off a lonely Texan trail, dangerously close to the volatile Mexican border, he has little premonition that this chance encounter will change his life forever.

Lying amongst the debris of shattered wagon wheels and dead horses is the woman who will turn Careless’ world upside down.

Little did he know the plight of Grace Whitfield, with her blue eyes, blonde curls and fierce desire to avenge the ruthless imprisonment of her brother, was going to lead Careless on many an adventure – both in the harsh desert and in his heart.

Battling against terrifying odds, Careless and his crew – the beautiful Grace, brave young Yippee Clay, honest Burt and dastardly Big Mouth – struggle on in their quest for justice.

Join Careless on his battle to avenge the capture of young Whitfield, prove his worth to the weary residents of Neuces Bend, and win the heart of the woman he loves.

With his life is constant danger, will his formidable skills and courage be enough to see him through?

Battle at Broken Knee is a rollicking ride of a western, with adventure, heroism and humour at every turn.
