Tap Andrews and Pepper Paige begin the Code of the West series with danger, second chances, and a journey into the Old West.
Book 1 in Stephen Bly’s Code of the West series introduces Tap Andrews and Pepper Paige in a lively Old West story of forgiveness, danger, and second chances. Tap knows survival requires a fast horse, a quick hand, and the wisdom to leave town at the right time. Pepper Paige, weary of life as a dance-hall girl and afraid of a violent patron, finds a desperate chance to escape when a woman injured in a stagecoach wreck dies in her room. Taking on the woman’s identity, Pepper travels west toward a rancher who knows his intended bride only through letters. What follows is a western adventure filled with mistaken identity, faith, romance, and the hope that even broken pasts can be redeemed.
