The Shotgun Rider: In this tale of bloody redemption, Dag Enberg is a shotgun rider for Arizona's Yuma Stage Line, and he's one of the best in the business. When a group of outlaws led by Cougar Ketchum kidnaps Enberg's pregnant wife and threatens to kill her if Enberg doesn't turn over a valuable strongbox, Enberg turns over the box without a fight. The owner of the strongbox, Logan Cates, believes that Enberg has thrown in with Ketchum. A bloody war breaks out...as well as a desperate chase into Mexico for the stolen gold and Enberg's woman.

Two Smoking Barrels: For a while, Dag Enberg manages to hold onto his job as shotgun rider for the Yuma Line, but he soon returns to his old brawling ways and gets himself fired when he raises a drunken ruckus in the Diamond in the Rough Saloon and beds the beautiful--and off-limits--Zenobia Chevere. "Enberg's March," the night comes to be called. His long-suffering wife, Emily, has suffered enough, and leaves with her mother on the next stage. When Apaches run down the stage, Enberg finds himself with maybe one more chance to win back his wife as well as his honor--if the Apaches don't slow roast him over a low fire first.
