Books like Rio largo by David Robbins

The Circle T and D/P ranches have long stood side‑by‑side in Sweet Grass Valley, divided only by the Rio Largo River and bound together by the friendship of owners Kent Tovey and Dar Pierce. Since the ranches first opened, they have thrived amid the rugged frontier, relying on hard work and mutual respect. All that changes when two new ranch hands stir controversy and the tension between the neighboring operations erupts into open conflict. A violent cycle ensues, and a ruthless gang rises to prey on the escalating hostility. Amid the carnage, one loyal cowboy uncovers a hidden truth and must decide whether to stand with his friends or confront the new threat. As the Circle T and D/P ranches struggle to protect their legacy, the stakes grow higher. Betrayal, vengeance, and the fierce bonds of friendship collide in a dramatic confrontation that will determine the fate of both families and the valley itself.
