Code of the West by Jesse Storm

A year ago as a young marshal, Clint surrendered his gun to an outlaw so as to save a girl. Some folks say giving up his iron is a cowardly act, leaving his town a cloud of dishonor. Now, as sheriff, Clint wants redemption by bringing a rustling gang to justice. He also wants to find love with Lydia, a widow who isn’t afraid to take on the world.
