Mission Bandits (Doc Beck Westerns Book 2)

The Mexican army, a town marshal, and the Sancho Guerra gang are facing off when Doctor Rebekah LaRoche and her new friend, Jimmy, arrive in Zapata, New Mexico Territory. The bandits are holding hostages at Hope Academy, a school for girls located in an old mission outside of town. Rebekah is torn about what to do-she was sent to the school to modernize the infirmary, not see the innocent occupants murdered.The notorious and almost gentlemanly bandit, Sancho Guerra, led his band of men on a pillaging spree from Mexico to the mission. He proves his indifference to killing, prepared for any tricks the army or the Zapata town marshal throw at him. When Rebekah arrives in town during a funeral for victims of the gang, the Mexican army colonel asks her to do something terrifying-enter the mission and help with the capture of the deadliest men in the territory. Once inside the mission's adobe walls, the game of wits turns personal with Sancho Guerra, becoming a battle burning with an intensity Rebekah cannot handle on her own.
