Twisted Iron

"If the world was going to burn, I was going to feed the flames." Aiden Middleston spent years surrounded by blood and death, first in the Army, then as a mercenary. But after helping a friend survive deadly espionage, and learning his love for her will never be returned as anything more than friendship, he heads home to the family ranch in Dillon, Montana. Yet escaping blood and death isn't in the cards when he lands in the middle of a range war over water rights, and a family vendetta in the blood and generations old, pulling him into the sort of life he's been trying to escape. Aiden has a choice - he can use those years of killing to defend what's his, or keep his sanity and leave one hundred thirty years of family memories and history to those willing to murder for it.
