Brothers in Arms — Troy D. Smith

Tim, the youngest Qualls brother, is always caught in the middle between his older brothers. Wade and Sam are polar opposites, at odds in almost every way. Wade is a die-hard Confederate turning to the outlaw trail. Sam gave his all for the Union and is now a lawman in their Tennessee hometown. They even loved the same woman, Violet Mason, but when Wade didn't come home at the war's end she married Sam. Now, fate draws the brothers together once more. A daring robbery, a bloody shootout with a posse, and a desperate trek through Indian Territory are just the beginning. Wade Qualls is coming home--death and hell riding his coattails. Sam prepares to make his stand, his eye on a higher duty. Which brother will have Tim's loyalty, and Violet's love? The larger war is over--the family war has only begun.
