Spencer's Law — Terrell L. Bowers

Taw Spenser was doing his job as a deputy sheriff when he was first smitten by the young lady, Colena Hawthorn. She robbed of his horse and clothing! Tracking her down ended when he got into a blazing gunfight with four bandits. Fate decided to lend a hand in this curious relationship, when Colena's father hires Taw to help open a new business in the mining town of Penance. Little did he know that Colena is the one he would be helping! The two are at odds until Colena is kidnapped. Then comes a robbery, a double-cross and murder. Taw learns that winning Colena's hand is about as dangerous as entering a snake-biting contest and giving the rattler first strike!
