Last Hope

Last Hope is the highly anticipated third book in the Gideon Johann Western series. It joins #1 bestseller novels on Amazon.com in Western Classics, Last Stand and Last Chance.

Love, second chances, new beginnings, and dispensing justice - all set in the town of Last Stand, Colorado in 1880.

Sheriff Gideon Johann has left the past behind and is enjoying his new life with his childhood sweetheart Abby. He crosses paths with a down on his luck buddy from the war and takes on the challenge of aiding Finnie in the same way that his friends did for him. In the midst of helping Finnie, a whore is murdered in Last Stand and the sheriff realizes that he has a conspiracy to solve. Gideon has his hands full as he tries to keep Finnie on the straight and narrow, solve a crime that has implications for the whole town, and help his lifelong friend, Ethan, get back on his feet.

Mary, the former whore, is now the successful proprietor of the Last Stand Last Chance Saloon. She finds her life turned upside down when Gideon recruits her in his quest to get the charming little Irishman Finnie back on his feet.

Gideon's daughter, Joann, comes for a visit from the Wyoming Territory. Her brief romance with Gideon's friend, Zack, has ended and the two young adults find their new relationship angst-filled and a comical calamity.

If you love classic westerns spiced up with some romance and believe in second chances, you will enjoy Last Hope.

Last Hope can be read as a stand-alone novel, but will provide a richer reading experience if Last Stand and Last Chance are read first.
