Rider in the Rain — Scott Siegel

Cort Lacey rode back to the valley he had left twelve long years before. Now he was famous—but for all the wrong reasons. There was a woman, too, a special one, and she expected him to do something about the range-hog who was crowding the settlers out of the valley. Haunted by his own reputation and the bloody victories that had built it, Cort realized he had one last chance to wipe the slate clean … but to do it, he would have to stop the land-grabber and his army of gunfighters in their tracks …and stop them for good.
